89929 Another tricky weekend for Man United fans and another tricky start to the only non-bank holiday interrupted week in a 4 week stretch. Additional lockdowns and restrictive measures in China and other parts of Asia combined with fears of aggressive rate paths from the west came together to cause a broad sell-off in European […]

89929 A few weeks ago I was quite upset by the news Cadbury was shrinking the Dairy Milk to curb inflation and I came to the conclusion I’d rather they increase the price rather than make it smaller but maybe that’s just me. Having grown up with Freddo’s at 10p and looking back at one […]

89929 Two and a half weeks into parenthood and from what I thought was a position of no knowledge I started to realise that a career as a sales-trader has given me quite the head start. The early rise feels very normal, her feed cycle is remarkably similar to mine and learning on the job […]

89929 A couple days out the office and came back with the strange feeling I’d missed quite a lot without missing much at all. I do get the sense that the market as a whole is more confident in a positive outcome but we continue to watch the headlines as closely as Mr Quick is […]

89929 Tricky to comment on a week like the one we’ve just had.

Political experts are largely absent and unlikely to be able to predict the path and markets are […]

89929 The benefits of working from home in focus today as high winds brought most of the United Kingdom to a standstill in the most British of fashions. Trains, planes and plenty other things cancelled as the UK deals with infrastructure that is decades old and is constantly put to the test. It’s safe to […]

89929 Two very significant occasions taking place over the weekend in the U.S. The L.A Rams won the 56th Superbowl beating the Cincinnati Bengals 23-20 in L.A. and more importantly, our U.S. team moved into their new offices on 5th Avenue! Both required a huge amount of work from a huge number of individuals but […]

89929 Groundhog day today and it feels quite apt as markets struggle to find clear direction after a fairly painful start to the year: An unconvincing rally for Europe (+0.5%), both growth and value trading higher but with volumes and focus mainly on earnings, clear themes are largely absent.  On the macro front a couple […]
