Worried about the state of the stock market and the potential for a crash? You're not alone as Dan Coatsworth discusses in this episode of the AJ Bell Money & Markets podcast. He looks at what's happening in the UK and US markets, and why investors have reacted in a certain way. [01:35] Fundsmith chief executive Terry Smith is on the show to give his thoughts on the plethora of market worries. [08:04] Charlene Young explains why the economy and the markets are not the same thing. Especially in the context of recent poor growth figures, the unemployment rate creeping up, yet the FTSE 100 recently hitting new record highs. [11:48] Dan has good news for people worried if their money is protected in the event of a bank or investment platform going bust. [14:41] There is a lot of talk about home insurance becoming much more expensive in recent years, so Charlene and Dan explore the reasons why premiums have shot up. [20:23] Anticipation around the Budget is causing jitters in the UK property market, as the pod team discuss. [25:36] Finally, we're debuting a new series celebrating interesting companies on the UK stock market. Our first guest is Ronnie George, chief executive of Volution, a ventilation products group which has made twice as much money for shareholders over the past year than a fund tracking the US stock market.

The team kicks things off this month with the UK Budget and what they would like to see emerge – but probably won't get – from the Chancellor's briefcase. Next, it's on to the US, where fund manager Will McIntosh-Whyte has just returned from. The team hear about his week of on-the-ground research and meeting with companies on the east coast.

Would every company be affected if the AI bubble were to burst? That's what Sundar Pichai, the head of Google's parent firm Alphabet reckons.The facts are startling, with the crypto market shedding more than $1tn in six weeks amid fears that the bubble may just go pop. With bitcoin price at its lowest level since April and the FTSE 100 falling, the guys at the top still say they absolutely do NOT think there'll be a burst. That normally goes well right?In UK News, Philip has started somewhat of an X meltdown. He reported that British abortion rates as a % of pregnancies are exploding in spite of recent innovations in contraception. Warning that this a major signal that something is deeply wrong in the economy. Is Britain heading to an almighty demographic crash-out, leading to an immigration boom?Meanwhile in Mexico, after thousands of demonstrators marched in the capital on Saturday to protest against violent crime President Sheinbaum has again dismissed Trump's threat of sending in US troops. Sheinbaum said the marches, which also took place in other cities, had been funded by right-wing politicians who oppose her government. Could the US be trying to encourage a colour revolution? While Trump continues to keep eyes on his armada in the southern Caribbean, close to Venezuela, who's to say? And would it even work?Still hungry for more? Philip sat down to converse with Jacques Sapir, a leading expert on the Russian economy, and part of the Institute of Economic War in Paris, to chat all things Russia, for the Danube Institute.

In this episode of "What's the Risk?" we take a look at the historic performance of the FTSE All-World Ex US Index. Some people would know the ETFs that seeks to track the performance of this index as Vanguard's VEU in both Australia and the US. Since it's inception in 2000, this index has struggled over he long term. It almost began with the dotcom bubble bursting, then later in the 2000's saw the global financial crisis, which lingered for a long time in Europe. While its performance has improved, it was then shaded by the strong recovery in US stocks over the past 15 years which has left some investors questioning why invest outside of the US?In more recent times people have started to question whether the US is the place to be due to several notable reasons, but as we point out, it's best not to over or under allocate based on what you think might happen because you could easily be wrong footed and miss out on returns when they arrive or see a period of underperformance in the areas you over allocate to.Want to learn more about investing?

This is doubly so when the underlying unit of account - the pound, the euro, the dollar - is being systematically debased. (Which makes the underperformance of the FTSE these last 25 years even more incredible by the way). Stock markets, especially in the US, have become places to park capital, where you can reduce erosion by inflation.So that's my disclaimer out of the way.I'm feeling bearishWe'll start with bitcoin.

Remember: I targeted $90,000 a coin a few weeks back.The crypto summer was muted, so we can expect this crypto winter to be similarly muted - no 90% corrections in other words. But we are almost 30% down already.Strip out the noise and HODL is my advice. That's what I'm doing. There has been no better investment strategy over the last 15 years and I'm sticking with it. But a crypto winter is upon us, it seems. Let's hope it's a mild one.Here's the chart. Look at the 50 day moving average in red. This is the third time in since 2024 that we have been in this situation.One correction lasted most of 2024 - well, March to October - the other took up the first five months of this year. They passed.Also worth noting is how each correction seems to have three spikes down - three drives to the bottom. This time around we have only had one, so maybe a couple more to go. That is not a prediction by the way: just an observation.The corrections in gold and silver have been more muted. But I have to say the silver chart concerns me. Double top or what?I thought the October correction would go deeper than it did, but it held up at the 50 day moving average (red line). That's a sign of strength. This rebound rally, dead cat bounce - whatever you want to call it - has taken us right back to the old highs, while gold and the S&P500 both made lower highs. That is also a sign of relative strength.But the second high was not confirmed by the silver miners, that is not good.

Who's winning 2-0? Find out on this week's PlayingFTSE Show!Steve W's matched the S&P 500 this week and Steve D's not far behind. Despite some big movements, it's all pretty tight in the stock market this week.3i – one of the FTSE 100's top performers – crashed at the end of the week. It's been a bad year for private equity firms, but the company had been holding up well. Steve W thinks he knows what's going on. And it has less to do with the private equity theme than the ongoing retail theme of falling like-for-like sales growth…Steve D's been looking at Taylor Wimpey. The latest results look decent and the stock moved a little bit as a result, but there are probably bigger things going on for the firm.The UK Budget is on the way and there's plenty to focus on there. But is a 9% dividend yield part of the problem or something for investors to get excited about?QXO is a stock most UK investors probably don't have on their radars, but Steve W thinks they should. He's got his eye on a 500% gain in the next 10 years. The firm is planning to roll up the building materials industry and it has a CEO with a very impressive track record. There's a lot of eggs in a basket called “Brad Jacobs”, though.Tecnoglass has released its latest earnings and our resident shareholder - Steve D - is not impressed. Higher costs are weighing on margins and that's not a good sign. Should he cut bait with this one or wait around for a better environment? Steve W thinks it might still have some promise, but the big question is how long it takes to realise this.Only on this week's PlayingFTSE Podcast!► Get a free fractional share!This show is sponsored by Trading 212!

On this episode of the AJ Bell Money and Markets podcast, Laura Suter delivers some good news on pension tax free cash after it's reported that the Chancellor won't alter allowances at the Budget.

[30:30]

Overnight in the US, Wall St saw a very similar trading day to yesterday's, with the Dow Jones advancing 0.7% to reset its record, while the Nasdaq slipped a further 0.3%, lead once again by reevaluations in the high flying AI sector. The S&P500 meanwhile edged 0.2% higher on the day.Across the pond Europe's strong momentum continued with another day of solid gains. The Stoxx 600 index closed up 0.71%, drive primarily by Germany's DAX and the French CAC, which added 1.22 and 1.04% respectively. The FTSE lagged behind, only edging up 0.1% higher.Asia saw a mixed session, as the Hang Seng and Nikkei added 0.85% and 0.43% respectively, while China's CSI index closed down 0.1%. Locally yesterday, the ASX saw its second straight day of the market opening higher, but ending the day in the red. The ASX 200 slipped 0.22%, despite 6 of the 11 key sectors in the green. Mineral Resources (ASX:MIN) was the biggest winner, with investors impressed by the announcement of a new deal with South Korea's POSCO to sell a 30% stake in its lithium operations for 765 million USD. On the losing end, popular tech stock Life360 (ASX:360) tumbled 13% after reporting lower than expected user growth numbers, and Commonwealth Bank (ASX:CBA) slipped a further 3% after yesterdays sell off as investors continue to weigh the disappointing results. What to watch today:Looking ahead to today, the SPI futures indicate that the ASX will open slightly higher, with a 0.12% gain. In precious metals, Gold and Silver continue to extend their recent rallies, with gold up a further 1.7% to just under $4200 USD per ounce, while silver is trading another 4.1% higher at 53 USD and 30 cents per ounce. Meanwhile, Crude Oil prices have plummeted nearly 4 and a half percent down to 58 USD and 40 cents per barrel, after a recent OPEC report suggested that global oil supply is expected to match demand in 2026, marking a shift from previous forecasts which had predicted a supply deficit. And Iron ore is trading up 0.6% to 104USD and 17 cents per tonne. Trading ideas:Bell Potter has maintained its buy rating on gaming machines supplier Aristocrat Leisure (ASX:ALL) and increased its 12-month price target to $80 per share, based on its forecasted NPAT and EBIT growth from ongoing R&D projects. And Trading Central have identified a bullish signal in Regis Resources (ASX:RRL), indicating that the price may rise from the close of $6.88 per share, to the range of $7.40 to $7.60 per share over a period of just 17 days, according to the standard principles of technical analysis. 

ITURRALDE: ¿Cómo pagará EEUU su deuda?: "Seguramente robando activos, por eso el cerco a Venezuela"En esta entrevista con Alberto Iturralde, director de Operativa DAX, se habla de cómo el mercado europeo muestra un comportamiento alcista, con índices como el DAX acercándose a máximos históricos y el FTSE 100 y el MIFID italiano manteniéndose también en niveles elevados. Alberto Iturralde explica que el cierre del gobierno federal en EE. UU. y la temporada de resultados influyen en la dinámica del mercado, pero el fondo sigue siendo positivo. Señala que la entrada de grandes inversores, la salida a bolsa de compañías de inteligencia artificial y el buen desempeño de sectores adyacentes, como la energía, generan un sentimiento comprador que mantiene la tendencia al alza, mientras que los recortes puntuales suelen ser breves y seguidos por nuevas subidas.En cuanto a divisas y activos refugio, Iturralde subraya que el dólar ya no cumple completamente esa función debido al creciente endeudamiento de EE. UU. y a las políticas fiscales expansivas, siendo el oro la alternativa más fiable. Respecto a criptomonedas como Bitcoin, advierte que son activos especulativos altamente influenciados por la liquidez y el sentimiento de los inversores, por lo que recomienda destinarlas solo a una pequeña parte de la cartera con fines especulativos y no como reserva de valor.

Meanwhile, the S&P 500 also saw gains overnight, adding 0.21%. In Europe, markets across the continent carried their momentum from yesterday as optimism following the end of the US government shutdown continued. The pan European Stoxx 600 index closed up 1.3%, as the FTSE and French CAC saw gains of over 1%, while the German DAX was slightly behind, only advancing half a percent.  Back home yesterday, despite opening in the green and seeing 8 of the 11 key sectors positive, the ASX 200 declined 0.2% on the day. It was primarily weighed down by the financial sector, where the big story was Commonwealth Bank (ASX:CBA) shares tumbling 6.6%, after the bank reported higher net interest margin and cost pressure than expected. What to watch today:Looking ahead to today's trading session, the SPI futures indicate that the ASX will open up 0.2%.Both gold and silver have continued to rally, bringing them now to a 5% and 8.5% advance on the week so far respectively.

For our last business podcast, we talked about the big PLCs, the companies traded on the stock exchange.在上一期商业播客中，我们谈到了大型公众有限公司（PLCs），也就是在证券交易所上市的公司。We're talking about the stock exchange. Richard, what is it?我们现在要谈的是证券交易所。Richard，它是什么？The stock exchange is also called the stock market and essentially it is a market.证券交易所也叫股票市场，本质上它就是一个市场。It's where the big companies, the shares in the big companies are bought and sold. Simple as that.在那里，大公司的股票被买卖。就是这么简单。Now, Richard, I have to confess my image of the stock market comes from films where you often see scenes of people throwing their arms in the air and, you know, lots of pieces of paper.Richard，我得承认，我对股票市场的印象来自电影——你经常看到人们挥舞着手臂，还有满天飞的纸片。It seems very mad. What's happening there?看起来很疯狂。那是怎么回事？Well, that doesn't really happen anymore. That system is called an open outcry.嗯，现在基本不会那样了。那种方式叫“公开喊价”。And basically these are the guys in the exchange buying and selling the shares. Only a certain number of people can do this in the old days.以前交易所里只有特定的人可以大声喊价买卖股票。So the old days, they don't do that anymore? Not so much now.所以那是以前了，现在不再这样了？现在基本不这样了。It's nearly all electronic trading.现在几乎全部是电子交易。I know that there's the FTSE 100 and there's things like the Dow Jones. What exactly are they?我知道有富时100指数，还有道琼斯这样的指数。它们到底是什么？Well, the FTSE 100 is basically the 100 biggest shares in the UK.富时100指数实际上是英国最大的100支股票。100 biggest companies? 100 biggest companies, yes.100家最大公司？没错，就是100家最大公司。It's a number to represent the total value of those 100 companies.它是一个代表这100家公司总价值的指数数字。And of course, as individual shares go up and down, what happens to the FTSE 100 gives a general indication of all of them, what's going on.当然，随着个股的涨跌，富时100的变化可以总体反映市场情况。So that's why it's called an index, because it's an indication. Exactly.所以它叫指数，因为它是一种指示。没错。And that's the same for the Dow Jones? The Dow Jones is the top 30 companies in America.道琼斯也是如此？道琼斯指数是美国最大的30家公司。And in Germany, you have the DAX, which again is the top 30 companies in Germany.德国有DAX指数，代表德国最大的30家公司。So all of these are indications of how the stock market is going in those countries? Exactly.所以这些指数都反映了各国股市的表现？没错。So there's the bear and the bull, isn't there? Stocks and shares generally rise and we call that a bull market.还有“熊”和“牛”，对吧？股票整体上涨时叫牛市。And then, or if they're generally falling, we call that a bear market.如果整体下跌，就是熊市。It always seems to me, Richard, that the stock market is a kind of a veryelitebuying market. Can anybody buy shares?Richard，我一直觉得股市是精英才能参与的市场。任何人都可以买股票吗？Well, yes. Actually, because most stock market trading is done online now, anybody can open up an online account and buy shares through the internet.当然可以。现在大多数交易都在线进行，任何人都可以开个网上账户买股票。It's very simple and it doesn't cost that much anymore.很简单，而且成本已经不高了。But interestingly, actually, I think most people will already have shares.但有趣的是，我认为大多数人其实已经持有股票了。Really?真的吗？Well, because a lot of people have pensions, especially company pensions, and the pension companies themselves invest their money in the stock exchange.是的，因为很多人有养老金，尤其是公司养老金，而养老金公司会把这些资金投资到股市。So anyone with a pension already will probably have a significant portion of that pension invested in the stock market.所以任何有养老金的人，其实都有一部分钱投资在股市里。Already? Yes.已经投资了？是的。I do know if you buy, if you spend too much money on buying shares and things, it can all go horribly wrong and you can lose your investment in your house, etc, etc. How risky is it?我知道如果你投入太多钱买股票，事情可能会变得很糟糕，你甚至可能损失所有投资甚至房子。风险到底有多大？Well, yes, of course, if you buy shares in just one company, that company goes bust, you've lost everything.是的，如果你只买一家公司的股票，而那家公司倒闭，你就会损失所有投资。So what a lot of people do is buy a fund.所以很多人会选择买基金。OK, what does that mean?好的，那是什么意思？Well, a fund is a collection of companies. So if any one of them does really badly, you don't lose all your money.基金就是一篮子公司。如果其中一家表现不好，你不会损失全部资金。But of course, if one of them does really well, then you do pretty well.当然，如果其中一家公司表现特别好，你也能赚到钱。So buy a fund. Your investment is spread then?所以买基金更好。这样投资就分散了？The key is to spread the risk. Don't put all your eggs in one basket.关键是分散风险。不要把所有鸡蛋放在一个篮子里。Otherwise, you'll have egg on your face.否则，你会颜面尽失（丢大脸/损失惨重）。

In this episode of "What's the Risk?" we take a look at the historic performance of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. Some people would know ETFs that seeks to track the performance of this index as Blackrock's IEM and Betashares BEMG ETF.Emerging markets have been much better as of late, and that's attracted the attention of investors again. It wasn't that long ago that emerging markets were significantly punished after Russia invaded Ukraine, and they were in the doldrums for a time after. This highlights some of the risks associated with emerging markets, some countries have governments and leaders that can increase volatility if you overweight them. While we're looking at MSCI's index, we do a comparison to FTSE's index which is tracked by Vanguard's VGE in Australia, and look a some of the differences between the two because there are some differences on country inclusions and size inclusions.Want to learn more about investing?

Terwijl Nederland wachtte op de exitpolls, zat de échte spanning vandaag op de beursvloer. Beleggers stuwden één bedrijf naar een recordwaarde: Nvidia. De chipmaker tikte als eerste in de geschiedenis een beurswaarde van 5000 miljard dollar aan. Wat kun je eigenlijk met dat bedrag? Rens en Jochem rekenden het uit. Spoiler: je kan de aarde rond met een treintje van de nieuwste Ferrari Testarossa Spiders. Het record van Nvidia komt trouwens niet uit de lucht vallen. De chipgigant profiteert van een spervuur aan deals: van samenwerkingen met Nokia tot een partnership met farmareus Eli Lilly. Zelfs Donald Trump mengde zich in het feestgedruis. Hij is trots dat Nvidia’s snelste chips nu in Arizona gemaakt gaan worden in plaats van in Taiwan. De vraag is natuurlijk wel: hoe lang kan dit groeiverhaal nog doorgaan? Op het Damrak was een glansrol weggelegd voor Adyen. Het betaalbedrijf steeg met 5 procent na sterke kwartaalcijfers. De omzet groeide met 20 procent naar bijna 600 miljoen euro, en door de systemen van Adyen stroomde in drie maanden tijd 350 miljard euro. Bedenk je even: per jaar gaat er meer door de systemen van Adyen dan door de Nederlandse economie. Vooral het onderdeel Unified Commerce, dat online en fysieke betalingen samenbrengt, maakte indruk met 32 procent groei. Ook ASM kwam met cijfers. De chipmachinefabrikant zag het aantal orders uit China dalen, maar hield de vooruitzichten positief. De top van het bedrijf verwacht de komende jaren stevige groei dankzij de vraag naar AI- en geheugenchips. Maar daar moet je wel even op wachten. Pas op de lange termijn belooft ASM cadeautjes voor beleggers: een verdubbeling van omzet en kasstroom richting 2030. En alsof dat nog niet genoeg was, dook er ook een nieuwe uitdager op voor ASML én TSMC: de Amerikaanse start-up Substrate, gesteund door investeerder Peter Thiel. Het bedrijf zegt een compleet nieuwe manier te hebben ontwikkeld om chips te maken. Beter, sneller en goedkoper. Of dat echt zo is, of dat de bollebozen bij ASML hun schouders ophalen, blijft nog even de vraag. Maar de techstrijd is nog lang niet gestreden.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Show Notes:Black and Ethnic Minority representation in leadership positions in the UK PR Industry leaves much to be desired and is well below FTSE 100 @11% and FTSE 250 @9% (Parker Review 2025). However, I am an optimist and do believe that direction of travel has been set by advocates and agencies… Collective progress may be slow, but equity & inclusion is mainstream and there are more role models than ever before…Alicia Solanki, Senior VP EMEA @Team Lewis is one such role model challenging cultural expectations and stereotypes to make space for herself in the UK industry. In this fast-paced conversation on The Elephant in the Room podcast we spoke about the dynamics of leadership and representation in the industry from the perspective of a woman of colour.Alicia also spoke about the importance of mentorship in fostering resilience and empowerment amongst underrepresented communities.- Authenticity and cultural sensitivity- Work life balance decoded- Codeswitching – life saving hack or demotivating burden?- Evolving definitions of leadership and empathy in leadership- DEI alive or dead? Are clients continuing to prioritise DEI initiatives or are they backtracking on their previous commitments?Each and every time I hear somebody speak about their lived experiences, I am blown away by how unique our experiences are to each one of us. How important it is for us to understand that Black and Ethnic Minorities or the global majority are not homogenous. That understanding context and intersectionality are key to informed equitable interventions for inclusive workplaces and thriving communities. Her advice to young Black and Ethnic minority professionals entering the industry - ‘make your own magic'. Episode TranscriptSudha: Good morning, Alicia. Wonderful to have you on the Elephant in the Room podcast today.I'm delighted because I've been following you on LinkedIn for some time and it's a great pleasure to have you here today.Alicia: Thank you, Sudha.

So let's start with a quick introduction. Alicia: So I'm Alicia Solanki. I'm SVP EMEA at Team Lewis. Team Lewis is a global marketing agency here in London, but we're also global. We're around the world in 25 offices. I've done my whole career agency side. Before that I was in the Omnicom family. So, yeah, I guess I love the buzz of agency.I love the discipline of PR and how it's really expanded now. I have two children, Ella, who's 11, just started high school. So lots of change came going on in our house at the moment.And then I have a little boy called Ethan, who's eight. So, yeah, married, busy life, juggling loads of plates.

Steve W owns both of those stocks, but it's Steve D who's looking at this one – what does he think of it?It's a debut on the show for S&P 500 industrial CNH Industrial.

It's Shawbrook – an upstart fintech. It doesn't have an app, but who needs one of those when you can make loans with 35% interest rates? Steve D has the details of a bank that looks like it's doing things differently. Only on this week's PlayingFTSE Podcast!► Get a free fractional share!This show is sponsored by Trading 212!

The UK Investor Magazine was delighted to welcome Neil Wilson, Investor Strategist at Saxo UK, to discuss global equity markets and key near-term events.The discussion begins by examining the Bank of England's monetary policy constraints and whether rate cuts can deliver meaningful market impact, given current inflation rates.The conversation then turns to global equity valuations, questioning whether elevated price levels represent a genuine concern or simply reflect the natural progression of market appreciation.This leads into artificial intelligence, weighing whether the sector is experiencing a speculative bubble or if current valuations can be justified by future earnings.We look at the current US earnings season, highlighting standout companies and the key takeaways.With the FTSE 100 trading near record highs, we explore which sectors present the most compelling value opportunities for UK investors.Neil provides his view on the gold rally and whether it can be sustained.
