2:28 - The latest April trade figures coming out of China paint a mixed picture of the economy. Vishnu Varathan of Mizuho Bank speaks to us about China's economic outlook, especially with the escalating tensions in the US-China trade talks.

6:27 - Disney reported its second quarter earnings per share of 1.61 US dollars versus street expectations of 1.58 US dollars per share. This is in part due to the success of the Avengers Endgame movie. Disney will now be focusing on Disney Plus, a subscription-based streaming platform which will be starting soon.
