A couple of weeks on from the last Just Williams podcast but the main topic of conversation remains constant, namely the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.

Host Duncan Williams is joined by John Newsome and David Scott as they consider the implications of it becoming an extended military operation, and how it will impact on the Global Economy and the Investment Markets.

They also turn there attention to the knock-on effects for the UK economy, before reflecting on a recent (and unusual) messaging line coming from a Governor of the Bank of England.

It is very much a globally themed episode this time as Duncan, John and David discuss the ongoing turmoil in the Middle East, and dig down into the turbulence and challenge it creates in the investment sector.

They ponder the significance of the situation within the overall cycle of the markets, and try to understand how other events like the UK local elections, or the process to appoint a new Chair of the US Federal Reserve, are going to play out.

In this new episode of the Just Williams podcast we extend a warm welcome to the newest member of the team, David Scott.

Duncan Williams is on hand to take care of the introductions and in the process learn a little more about his background, and general philosophy around investment management and the markets.

All of that whilst sharing their thoughts on the impact of the evolving situation in the Middle East, and what it might mean in the longer term
