The Williams Investment team of Duncan Williams and John Newsome are back and fired up to bring you their thoughts.

Even though today's episode was recorded before this weeks Spending Review, there is still much to ponder including the impact that the crippling costs of energy is having on the UK economy, the moves the Trump administration are making to try and influence monetary policy in the US and the consequences of surprise drop in inflation across the Eurozone.

And on the subject of energy, they take time to delve into what is going on with coal-fired power station in India.

The Just Williams podcast is back, with regulars Duncan Williams and John Newsome in front of the mics and ready to do business.

The UK economic situation is the first thing up for discussion with the recent drop in interest rates (and further cuts expected) bumping up against rising inflation, and resulting in some scratching of foreheads.

America is up next with the latest economic numbers suggesting that whatever the Trump Administration is up to, it isn't necessarily delivering anything of note. A quick trip over to Japan for some interesting news about rising inflation, and a couple of quick stock updates, before returning to find out what Rachel Reeves is up to with Pension Funds.

Oh, and they finish with a quiz.

There are quite a few economic updates to get through in this episode of the Just Williams podcast, as hosts Duncan Williams and John Newsome ponder a change to UK interest rates as well as a Trade Deal with the U.S

And, as will come to no surprise to regular listeners, they are forthright with both analysis and opinion. In other news there is an update on a u-turn by the Belgian Government around nucleur power, and some chat around the market position of Google.

Oh, and Duncan puts John through his paces with an end-of-episode quiz!
