About the Podcast

The Money Mosaic
Your Guide to Financial Mastery and Creative Investment
The Money Mosaic is a market analysis podcast for investors following London, brought to you by AI (artificial intelligence). Two hosts, a technical read and a fundamental read, work through the numbers together.
On Tuesdays and Fridays, Currency Markets covers the major currency pairs through the London FX session: where sterling, the euro and the dollar-yen closed, how they moved on the day and across the week, and where the balance of risk sits into the next session.
On Sundays, The Week Ahead looks at where the FTSE 100 finished the trading week and the forces behind it — the pound, oil, gold and global interest rates — then turns to the economic and earnings calendar for the week starting Monday. It works at the level of the index and its drivers, not individual shares.
Every episode is grounded in verified market data and is analysis, not financial advice.
