The Conversation travels the globe examining the financial and political hotspots from China to the UK and the EU. "China may be on the cusp of busting," says DICK BOVE, chief financial strategist at ODEON CAPITAL CONVERSATION, in this latest episode. "Japan is off the charts in terms of being in trouble," he adds. MAT VAN ALSTYNE, ODEON co-founder and managing partner, says the outside world does not have access to what's really happening in China today. "What about Japan? " he asks. "Its Central Bank has been essentially bankrupt for multiple decades." 

With debt levels worldwide and in the US at historic highs, VAN ALSTYNE believe it is not a question of if America will see a return of quantitative easing, but a question of when. JOHN AIDAN BYRNE says the financial drama in the UK and the resignation of Prime Minister Liz Truss, followed by the election of her successor, RISHI SUNAK, fascinated the markets and the globe because it could foreshadow the fate of other nations. Also in this Conversation, BOVE spells it out—what bank earnings are saying about the US economy.
