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.
