Central banks in limbo: the wait-and-see approach

In this episode of 'Seven Minutes on Markets,' hosts Sam Hannon and Ben Kumar discuss the recent market trends and how external factors like geopolitical tensions are influencing them. The oil market remains volatile, with sanctions on Russia easing but energy demand in Europe increasing due to air conditioning needs. Nvidia's financial strategies, including increased dividends reminiscent of Apple's past actions, suggest a notable shift in its growth approach.
