@TonyTassell @elerianm Just imagine if the run-off in next year‘s 🇫🇷 presidential election were between Le Pen and Melenchon.

Remarkable words here from David Webb, who has done so much for corporate governance in HK and Asia. Due to serious illness, he is shutting down his website and transferring to a substack. Have huge respect for what he has done over the years https://t.co/az8LWXjHWm https://t.co/ 504 views · 3 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies 13 Oct 2025 · Open on X →

Back in 2009, @willem_buiter wrote that gold was in a 6000-year-old bubble. SInce then it has risen from $1,100 to $4000 an ounce. But he writes here it still has no intrinsic value and should be sold by central banks. https://t.co/TJFfjqvGcl 390 views · 2 likes · 0 reposts · 1 replies 10 Oct 2025 · Open on X →

What is happening in France may not stay in France - @elerianm column here. Bond markets are losing patience with political paralysis. Implications for the ECB and the UK budget "will test whether London can deliver what Paris is failing to provide." https://t.co/eoHJT9V6Re 22.4K views · 52 likes · 11 reposts · 4 replies 07 Oct 2025 · Open on X →
