    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.
