The Eurozone's Evolving Economy with Martin Essex of DailyFX.com

A few weeks ago, our very own Mark Meadows went onto the DailyFX podcast and spoke with host Martin Essex. Now, we’re flipping that around and bringing Martin onto Limit Up! Martin is an analyst and editor over at DailyFX and has previously written for The Wall Street Journal, Reuters and the BBC. This is part 2 of Jeff’s interview with Martin. If you missed part 1, make sure to check it out here. 

In this episode, Jeff and Martin shift their focus across the Atlantic to Europe, where there’s no shortage of news impacting the markets. From Brexit, the impact of Cryptocurrencies and the evolving state of the Eurozone, Martin has a front row seat to some of the most important market shifting stories.
