  • Live from the FTWeekend Festival in London
    2025 has been a chaotic year, with seemingly random tariffs, the reduction of the labour force, the partial nationalisation of major companies and a looming hostile takeover of the long independent Federal Reserve. Before a live audience at Kenwood House in London, Katie Martin and Rob Armstrong try to understand which markets are responding to all this self-generated chaos, and why. Also they go long champagne and short gold.For a free 30-day trial to the Unhedged newsletter go to: https://www.ft.com/unhedgedoffer.You can email Robert Armstrong and Katie Martin at [email protected] a transcript of this episode on FT.com Hosted on Acast.

  • The people’s chip manufacturer
    The Trump administration has again extended its control over the US economy, now taking a 10 per cent stake in the chip manufacturer Intel. Control of the means of production is a foundational tenet of socialism and Marxism, but the Republican party remains silent. Today on the show, Katie Martin and US managing editor Brooke Masters ask, “What the hell?” Sign up for the FT Weekend Festival at ft.com/festival and use the promo code “FTPodcasts” for 10 per cent off.

  • The Fed under attack
    The annual meeting of central bankers in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, is supposed to be an intellectual retreat. Instead, it was overshadowed by personal and political attacks on US Federal Reserve board member Lisa Cook. Today on the show, Katie Martin talks to US economics editor Claire Jones about her reporting from Jackson Hole and what might happen if the central bank falls under the president’s control. Also, we attempt to go long and short but are interrupted by a fire alarm.
