The markets are breathing a sigh of relief as British Prime Minister Liz Truss calls it quits.

Truss was in the job for only 44 days, making her the third to resign in as many years, and the shortest Prime Minister in history.

Her tax cut plan proved to be her downfall, with the British economy tanking before rebounding after a dramatic U-turn earlier in the week.

Business commentator Rod Oram joined Andrew Dickens.
