Jonny Hart speaks to APAC Senior Market Analyst Jeffrey Halley about the week ahead. In this episode, we take a look at Asian markets today, many of which remain under pressure due to surging Covid-19 cases and renewed social restrictions. Jeff’s favourite “asset class,” Bitcoin, makes an appearance as he explains why the Colonial Pipeline saga has increased the crypto-regulatory risk substantially. We ponder Asia’s Covid-19 situation, contrasting it with the US/Europe/UK recovery and a two-speed world. Finally, we take a look at this week’s admittedly light, data, calendar, and pick out a few gems to watch closely.
