    AI is powering the market rally - but is it also starting to push inflation higher?

    This week, Jane Parry, Chief Marketing Officer, is joined by Tom Hibbert, Chief Investment Strategist, to discuss: US equities hitting fresh highs, with AI still firmly at the centre of the rally Beneath the surface, a more uncomfortable question is emerging: if AI is driving such heavy investment, demand and energy use, could it actually be pushing inflation higher?If you have any feedback on this episode, the podcast overall or questions regarding future topics, please email coffeebreak@canaccord.com.

    Strong in the US, soft in the UK - but what’s really driving markets?

    One economy still feels like it’s running on espresso. The other is starting to feel a bit more decaf. But is it really that simple? Recent data suggests a familiar pattern: resilience in the US economy and a softer backdrop in the UK. In the US, the labour market remains firm and activity levels are holding up well. In the UK, services and employment data point to a more fragile picture. But beneath that surface, the story is less clear and markets are trying to work out what reflects genuine strength. How can investors make sense of this tale of two halves? This week, Jane Parry, Chief Marketing Officer, is joined by Richard Champion, Co-Chief Investment Officer, to discuss: Why US growth continues to look resilient and what’s driving itWhat weaker UK data (particularly in services and employment) is signallingHow inflation and energy prices are shaping the outlook for both central banksWhy the key question may now be how sustainable growth really is.This episode highlights an important consideration: it’s not just about how strong growth looks today, but how long it can last.

    Rising gilt yields, falling confidence - the UK risk premium is back - but what does it mean for your money?

    Yields on gilts (UK government bonds) have climbed to the highest levels in decades, sterling has weakened and markets are beginning to price in rising political and economic risk in the UK. Investors are demanding a higher return to lend and that shift can feed quickly into mortgages, borrowing costs and growth. What level do yields need to reach before this becomes a real problem and what does that mean for your investments? Jane Parry, Chief Marketing Officer, is again joined by Tom Hibbert, Chief Investment Strategist, this week to talk about: Why gilts are under pressure from political uncertainty and global bond market trendsWhat rising yields mean for growth, inflation and the wider UK economyWhere risk levels begin to escalate and what higher yields could triggerWhy today’s yield levels may also present a more attractive entry point for investors.This week’s episode explains what’s driving the current pressure in UK markets and why higher gilt yields could be significant for your portfolio.

    Not all safe havens are safe: why gold is falling behind infrastructure

    What happens when ‘safe’ assets stop being safe? Infrastructure and gold are both traditionally seen as safe havens - yet recently they’ve been telling very different stories. One has quietly gathered momentum, while the other has lost its footing, despite an environment where many investors might expect both to benefit. Why are two assets often grouped together as safe havens now behaving so differently? This week, Jane Parry, Chief Marketing Officer, was joined by Leah Bramwell, Head of Tailored Investment Solutions, to discuss: Why infrastructure has evolved beyond a purely defensive roleHow AI-driven investment is feeding through into utilities and energy networksWhy gold hasn’t behaved as expected despite inflation and geopolitical uncertaintyWhat the divergence between traditional safe havens tells us about today’s market dynamics.This episode is a reminder that labels like ‘safe haven’ can hide very different underlying drivers.

    AI, earnings and interest rates – why did markets rally in April?

    After the wobbles of March and domination of geopolitics on headlines, global equity markets surged in April, delivering their strongest month since late 2020. The key question for investors is why that rally was so powerful and what it means for long‑term returns from here. Is this simply excitement and momentum at work, or something more fundamental? Canaccord Coffee Break podcast – 7 May 2026   This week, Jane Parry, Chief Marketing Officer, was again joined by Tom Hibbert, Chief Investment Strategist, to discuss: Why markets looked past recent shocks and refocused on fundamentalsHow strong earnings - particularly in the US - powered April’s rallyWhat the latest results from the big US tech stocks tell us about AI, costs and profitabilityWhy central banks stayed quiet despite a busy week of meetings and what that signals for interest rates. April’s rally wasn’t driven by hope alone. Robust earnings, record margins and improving corporate discipline have played a central role - raising an important question about how much of that strength is already priced into today’s markets.

    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.
