00:09 - Breaking news from the Wall Street Journal, Trump said he would delay an increase in tariffs on Chinese goods.

00:59 - Berkshire reported a net loss of USD 25.4 billion in the 4th quarter one of the largest quarterly losses in its history.

04:23 - China had imposed an import ban on Australian coal which sent the Australian dollar tumbling. We speak to Jeffrey Halley to make sense of this.

08:12 - Uber Eats is exiting their India operations after less than two years of operation in India’s competitive food-delivery landscape. Uber Eats is now in talks to sell their operations to rival Swiggy.
