    Why markets are coping better with oil prices than before

    Oil prices have been volatile recently, surging from around US$60 to US$100 a barrel, yet markets have remained surprisingly calm. Unlike past energy shocks, this move has so far looked contained rather than disorderly - even with the conflict in the Middle East unresolved. What’s different this time and why should investors be paying attention? This week, Jane Parry, Chief Marketing Officer, speaks with Tom Hibbert, Chief Investment Strategist about: Why today’s oil shock looks very different from past crisesHow markets have adapted through alternative supply routes and strategic reservesWhy inflation is the key risk and what would make it more concerningWhat higher oil prices mean for central banks and interest rate expectations.Oil prices may be higher, but the real risk lies in what happens next: if energy costs start feeding into wages, prices and expectations more broadly.

    From fear to FOMO: why markets bounced and why gilts are back

    In just two weeks, markets have swung from panic to confidence. Equities are back at record highs, oil prices fell and gilts (UK government bonds) have seen a surge in demand. It’s the speed and breadth of that shift that has caught some investors off guard. Markets appear to be pricing in calm, even as geopolitical risks remain unresolved and sentiment continues to turn quickly with each new headline. How long can the calm last? This week, Jane Parry, Chief Marketing Officer, is joined by Tom Hibbert, Chief Investment Strategist, to discuss: Why markets rebounded so quickly and why the pace of the recovery mattersWhat highly ‘rotational’ markets reveal about investor confidence todayWhy record demand for UK gilts is sending a strong signal from bond investorsHow resilient earnings and economic data are supporting risk assets.Rapid rotations and sharp reversals have become a defining feature of this market, making it harder to rely on simple narratives or single themes. For investors, staying balanced an adaptable becomes increasingly important.

    Are we riding the oil squeeze into stagflation?

    Markets rallied sharply last week following a ceasefire announcement between the US and Iran. The scale of the market response was positive - yet surprising - given how fragile and uncertain the situation remains. Energy prices remain well above pre‑conflict levels, with disruption through the Strait of Hormuz continuing. That has brought renewed focus on the risk of stagflation - a challenging environment where inflation stays high even as economic growth slows. This week, Jane Parry, Chief Marketing Officer is joined by Tom Hibbert, Chief Investment Strategist, to discuss: Why markets reacted so strongly to the ceasefire announcementWhy higher energy prices can slow growth while pushing inflation higherWhat stagflation means for investors and clients, why it’s such an unwelcome scenario and if any assets tend to perform well during it. Markets may be responding to better news, but the situation remains fluid. In periods like this, resilience, diversification and forward planning tend to matter more than reacting to short term price moves.

    Reasons to be cheerful… are markets finding their feet again?

    After several weeks of volatility in the Middle East dominating headlines, markets showed more encouraging signs last week. Equity markets moved higher, bonds also rallied and sentiment appeared to stabilise as investors focused on improving fundamentals rather than daily news flow. While uncertainty hasn’t disappeared, recent market moves suggest investors may be starting to look through the noise. This week, Jane Parry, Chief Marketing Officer is joined by Tom Hibbert, Chief Investment Strategist, to discuss: What drove last week’s more positive tone across equity and bond marketsWhy certain parts of the market responded particularly stronglySigns of resilience in global economic data and company earnings expectationsWhy fundamentals (such as company earnings and economic data) remain important when markets feel uncertain.In times like these, day to day moves can feel unsettling - but they don’t always tell the full story.

    A tale of two markets - why bonds are warning and equities aren’t listening

    Markets are telling two very different stories right now. On one hand, equities and credit markets have been surprisingly resilient despite the heightened uncertainty around the conflict in Iran and surging energy prices. On the other, UK government bonds (gilts) are showing sharp moves, with yields rising above 5% - levels not seen since the financial crisis. This week, Jane Parry, Chief Marketing Officer is joined by Tom Hibbert, Chief Investment Strategist, to discuss: Why markets are currently pricing two very different economic outcomesWhat resilience in equities and credit markets is really telling usWhy gilts are reacting so differentlyWhether rising yields reflect genuine risk, or a potential opportunity for investors.While uncertainty remains high, understanding how different parts of the market are responding can help cut through the noise. As always, maintaining perspective, staying diversified and focusing on long-term objectives remains key.

    From Gulf to gilts: opportunity in UK bonds?

    The situation in the Middle East continues to drive markets, with tensions around the Strait of Hormuz keeping energy prices elevated. While oil grabs the headlines, another important market reaction is happening elsewhere: UK government bond (gilts) yields are now approaching 5% - levels not seen since the financial crisis. For long-term investors, this surge isn’t just a headline, it could represent a rare opportunity to secure attractive, tax-efficient returns. This week, Jane Parry, Chief Marketing Officer is joined by Leah Bramwell, Head of Tailored Investment Solutions, to discuss: How the Strait of Hormuz-driven energy shock is feeding into inflation and interest rate expectationsWhy central banks are pausing but signalling very different paths aheadWhat’s behind the sharp move higher in UK gilt yields.In a fast-moving environment, it’s easy to focus on the headlines. But often, the real story lies in how markets respond and where that creates opportunity.

    How one narrow Strait is driving global markets

    The Strait of Hormuz - through which around a fifth of the world’s oil flows - is now at the centre of escalating tensions, sending energy prices sharply higher and raising fresh questions for inflation and interest rates. Oil has surged above US$100 a barrel, with sharp swings reflecting just how uncertain the situation remains. But this isn’t just about energy: when oil moves, it feeds into almost every part of the global economy, from supply chains to inflation, and ultimately central bank decisions. This week, Jane Parry, Chief Marketing Officer is joined by Tom Hibbert, Chief Investment Strategist, to discuss: Why the Strait of Hormuz has become the key flashpoint for marketsHow energy prices are feeding through into inflation and growth expectationsWhy central banks in the UK, US and Europe are responding differentlyWhat investors should be watching as the situation continues to evolve.Markets have remained relatively resilient so far, but the backdrop is shifting quickly. As always, staying diversified and focused on the long term remains key.

    Under pressure: are markets overreacting to Iran?

    Escalating tensions involving Iran have unsettled global markets, driving energy prices higher and reviving inflation concerns. The ripple effects have been felt across asset classes, with the UK market particularly sensitive to an energy-driven shock. Against that backdrop, UK government bonds (gilts) have endured one of their worst weeks in years. Gilt yields moved higher as investors reassessed inflation risks and the outlook for interest rates. But the picture may not be as straightforward as it seems. While falling bond prices have made headlines, higher yields also mean better returns for some investors . In other words, the recent sell off may be opening up a more attractive entry point. This week, Jane Parry is joined by Tom Hibbert, Chief Investment Strategist, to unpack: Why escalating tensions in the Middle East are pushing energy prices higherWhy the UK economy is particularly sensitive to an energy driven inflation shockHow today’s market reaction compares with the Russia-Ukraine energy crisis in 2022Why recent moves in the gilt market may be creating new opportunities for investorsPeriods like this can feel uncomfortable. But market volatility doesn’t always mean danger: sometimes sharp moves can create opportunities for long term investors.
