Description

The AJ Bell Money & Markets podcast is back after the summer break, with Charlene Young and Danni Hewson unpacking the big stories shaping markets and personal finance. We kick off in the UK, where inflation has jumped again, and a reshuffle in the Prime Minister’s economic team has sparked fresh Budget rumours – including a possible bank windfall tax that sent shares sliding [11:20 ].


Across the pond, all eyes are on the Federal Reserve [15:20 ], while Donald Trump’s tariffs face a legal challenge that could reset trade dynamics.


We then dive into a timely interview: Danni speaks with Marcus Jennings, fixed income strategist at Schroders, about why UK gilt yields have jumped to 30-year highs and what that means for borrowers, investors and the government’s finances [22:40 ].


In company news, we cover Nestlé’s search for a new CEO, BYD’s profit stumble[37:00 ], and Alibaba’s AI push – with Nvidia back in the spotlight as AI momentum shows no sign of cooling. Finally, Charlene looks at the back-to-school squeeze on family finances and explains how the September extension of free childcare hours could help parents – and who misses out. [46:20 ]
