How to thrive though market mayhem
In this week's AJ Bell Money & Markets podcast, Sarah Coles and Charlene Young get to grips with a turbulent week on the markets, which saw a sharp sell-off driven by concerns over AI spending, rising bond yields and political uncertainty. Dan Coatsworth speaks to Russ Mould for his expert insight into what's behind the volatility, what it means for investors and pension savers, and why keeping a cool head could be the best strategy.
The episode also delves into the latest developments surrounding Nvidia and the problems engulfing Poundland, with Shares magazine editor Tom Sieber. Away from the markets, Hannah Williford speaks to Michael Owens from Castlefield about why inheritance tax changes could make updating your will more important than ever.
Plus, Sarah and Charlene explore the reality of managing pay gaps within relationships, how much cash you should keep at home for emergencies, and why customers were less than impressed with a £110 celebrity advent calendar.
