The City View: Victoria Scholar on rising prices, unemployment and retail sales data; and XR cause Lloyd's of London HQ shutdown

Today Andy Silvester talks to Victoria Scholar, Head of Investment at Interactive Investor. They go through some of the week's economics data on GDP, unemployment, retail sales, and talk trading updates. They discuss the latest from ASOS, Deliveroo, and EasyJet: ASOS is facing a raft of headwinds, as investors lose confidence in the online retailer; Deliveroo has recorded an uptick in orders compared to the same time last year; and EasyJet has been struggling to get staff in. Andy also goes through the news -- the UK's accounting watchdog has ordered an investigation into Deloitte's auditing of Go-Ahead Group; businesses have unleashed a wave of job cuts to avoid being hit by the National Insurance hike; and an Extinction Rebellion (XR) protest has caused the shutdown of Lloyd's of London's HQ.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
