On today’s episode of Talking Markets, I’m joined by
, founder and CEO of Strategic Insight Group, and , Head of Geopolitical and Macro at The Bespoke Group.The conversation kicks off with Operation Spider’s Web, Ukraine’s drone strike on Russian air bases, an event Jacob describes as a “Pandora’s box” that shatters conventional ideas of military power. But the implications go far beyond the battlefield. As Dee notes, “They may have rewritten the rules of war and commerce.”
We also explore:
The strategic and economic consequences of non-state actors wielding low-cost drones
How military spending is misaligned with today’s threats
The ripple effects of US tariffs and rising economic nationalism
What Jacob describes as “own goals” by the US that are weakening its global leadership
Why Japan’s response to tariffs signals a new era of multipolar power
The South Korean election and a speculative look at the long-term potential of North Korean opening (yes, really!)
The fragility of global credit systems and the warning signs Dee sees in global debt markets
Whether risk is more elevated today, and why Jacob still sees a boom in “left-behind emerging markets” and energy transition opportunities
And a lot more…
I hope you enjoy and I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments.
Have a great weekend,
Maggie
