This week we invited our traders to take part in a live conversation with our chief market analyst Neil Wilson.
This was the first of our Live XRay Talks, our virtual trading roundtables and Q&As where we give traders the chance to meet the experts and discover what’s really going on in the markets.
Neil took questions on both the economic and market impact of Covid-19, the reaction of central banks and what could still be to come, OPEC production cuts, the green revolution and more.
Watch it here:
We’ll be bring our traders plenty more of these exclusive events, where you can get your questions answered by veteran traders and market professionals. Our next session takes place on July 4th with Andrew Barnett, senior trader at Trading Mastery.
Make sure you’re signed up to Marketsx for your chance to join our next Live XRay Talk.
