Sterling Cash-Pemberton

The markets are patriotic. Mostly.

"Stay liquid, Britain."

Sterling Cash-Pemberton spent twenty years in the City before BB News hired her to explain the economy as a matter of national character.

In her analysis every market move has a cultural cause: the pound falls because of oat milk, gilts wobble because of the weather map, and the FTSE rallies whenever Rex wears the navy tie.

She presents the channel's gold-bar adverts, covers the Empire of Greatagain's coins with a straight face, and has never once said the word "inflation" without looking at a heat pump.

Catchphrases

  • "The markets have spoken, and they sound British."
  • "That's not a crash. That's a correction of character."
  • "Buy gold. Buy British. Buy jawline."
