Greece could come up short on cash next week if the government can’t reach a deal with the Eurozone on economic reforms that would unlock essential bailout funds. Both the Greek government and its creditors have said they need to reach an outline agreement, at the very least, at their next meeting on April 24. But Greece has yet to produce a plan for reforms deemed acceptable. Boom Bust guest host Ameera David weighs in.
Then, Edward joins us after his attendance at a special Brookings Institution event where the finance ministers from Greece and Germany spoke, following the annual spring meetings for both The World Bank and International Monetary Fund. He tells us what Wolfgang Schaeuble and Yanis Varoufakis had to say and what this means for Greece and likely outcomes to that nation’s crisis.
Then, Ameera sits down with John Brynjolfsson – CIO of Armored Wolf. John tells us if Europe can sustain the triple digit debt loads in Spain, Italy, Belgium, and Portugal, given its anemic growth and he gives us his take on how the Greek government will decide between its domestic constituency and its international creditors.
After the break, Bianca gives us a daily news roundup on other headlines including a report on earnings, Ben Bernanke’s new job, and a glitter-filled ECB protest by young but veteran German activist protester Josephine Witt.
Afterwards, Erin is joined by Rick Rule – CEO of Sprott US Holdings, Inc. Rick gives us his take on the future of the oil market and tells us if he thinks volatility in the oil market is likely to spike now that prices have relatively stabilized.

With the global economy struggling against the coronavirus pandemic, there are a few bright spots for bullish investors. The price of copper popped recently, driving optimism for the global economy moving forward. Copper is seeing the quickest rally it has had in years as the industrial metal is surging. China's industrial output bounced back as the global economy is handling the consequences of COVID-19. Meanwhile, the US Commerce Department announced that retail sales for the world’s largest economy grew in June. However, weekly jobless claims are still coming in above 1 million, a sign that the long-term damages are beginning to mount.

It was met with a lot of resistance, but the bailout deal meant to mitigate Greece’s financial crisis finally passed early Thursday morning. The Greek Parliament voted to accept its third bailout, worth up to €86 billion, all in exchange for tough austerity measures. That includes pension cuts, increases to value added taxes, limits on public spending, and an overhaul of its collective bargaining system. Ameera David weighs in.
Then, Ameera is joined by Frances Coppola – blogger at “Coppola Comment” and contributor to The Financial Times and Forbes. Frances tells us how Greece got pushed into taking a new bailout deal and gives us her take on the possibility of a “Brexit.”
After the break, Bianca Facchinei takes a look at the rates of childhood poverty in the United States. From 2010 to 2013, the amount of impoverished white, Asian, and Hispanic children declined. But the rates of black children in poverty remained stubborn at a rate of 38%.
Afterwards, Ameera and Erin Ade discuss a new effort to stem student loan defaults, which could end up increasing costs for the government's growing student-loan portfolio. The Obama Administration is working on a plan that will allow millions of Americans to further cut their monthly student debt bills.
And in The Big Deal, Ameera and Edward Harrison discuss the latest on Greece, concentrating on the role of the European Central bank.
Take a look!
