Plus, the FT’s Europe editor, Ben Hall, explains why Ukraine is cracking down on oligarchs and what it means for the country.  Mentioned in this podcast:<a href="https://on.ft.com/3R8qqza" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Economists see Fed keeping rates at 22-year high until at least July  </a><a href="https://on.ft.com/3NhIXb9" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">How the US Supreme Court could thwart a prospective wealth tax</a><a href="https://on.ft.com/41cRGBo" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">US Supreme Court appears wary of upending tax law in closely watched case</a><a href="https://on.ft.com/3Gv44D0" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The crackdown on Ukraine’s oligarchs</a> The FT News Briefing is produced by Fiona Symon, Sonja Hutson, Kasia Broussalian and Marc Filippino.
