On this week’s Macrodose, James Meadway breaks down: the return of deposit mortgages and what they show us about our housing market (1:07), how the steep drop in China’s imports could spell trouble for the rest of the world (6:36) and what the return of El Nino might mean for inflation and interest rates across the globe (13:29).
