Join InvestSense Director Jonathan Ramsay and Andrew Hunt of Hunt Economics in this podcast as they discuss:

Contrary to expectations Santa may even get a helping hand from Chinese producers ‘dumping’ excess inventory in the run-up to Christmas.

Are we seeing the ghost of QE future in Japan right now?
Can the RBA really promise no rate rises next year?
The Fed and the RBA have both mortgaged their credibility but can they keep up the payments?
