Rates rise as inflation bites
The Bank of England raised the base interest rate by 0.25% to 4% on Thursday, its first increase since August 2023, with Consumer Price Index ("CPI") inflation at 3.5% for the year to September from 3.1% in August and the Bank expecting it to reach around 5% in the second quarter of 2027 as the energy shock feeds through. Governor Andrew Bailey said a further increase could come as early as December, with the minutes pointing the same way. Households were already under strain: the Lloyds house price index fell 1.2% in the year to October, its steepest annual fall in three years, and British Retail Consortium data showed retail footfall down 4.7% over the same period, providing an indication of consumer sentiment...Stocks featured:Endeavour Mining, Fresnillo and Ithaca EnergyTo find out more about the investment management services offered by Walker Crips, please visit our website:https://www.walkercrips.co.uk/This podcast is intended to be Walker Crips Investment Management’s own commentary on markets.

Markets rally after the Budget
Chancellor John Healey's first Budget last Wednesday raised taxes while keeping the planned current budget surplus by 2030, and it did not trigger the gilt market sell-off some investors had feared, with the 10-year UK gilt yield easing to 5.28% from 5.36%. The bank corporation tax surcharge was temporarily doubled to 6%, and £20.4 billion was committed to the National Wealth Fund and the British Business Bank. Gas standing charges are to be scrapped for around 23 million households from 2027. Data released in Nationwide’s latest House Price Index showed annual house price growth slowing to 0.5% for the year to October from 0.8% in September, which the mortgage lender attributed to higher energy prices and mortgage costs...Stocks featured:AstraZeneca, Babcock International and HaleonTo find out more about the investment management services offered by Walker Crips, please visit our website:https://www.walkercrips.co.uk/This podcast is intended to be Walker Crips Investment Management’s own commentary on markets.

Markets braced for Wednesday's Budget
UK inflation accelerated to 3.5% in the year to September from 3.1% in August, its fastest pace since October 2025 and above the 3.4% consensus, driven by transport and motor fuels. Producer input price inflation reached 8.3% from 6.7% in August, with crude oil the largest contributor, pointing to cost pressure still in the pipeline. Unemployment fell to 4.7% in the three months to August from 4.9%, giving the Bank of England little reason to ease before its next base interest rate decision next month. Public sector net borrowing of £24.52 billion in September left the year-to-date figure £6 billion above the Office for Budget Responsibility forecast, ahead of the UK Budget tomorrow, 28th October...Stocks featured:Experian, Fresnillo and London Stock Exchange GroupTo find out more about the investment management services offered by Walker Crips, please visit our website:https://www.walkercrips.co.uk/This podcast is intended to be Walker Crips Investment Management’s own commentary on markets.

Oil prices and the AI sell-off
The UK economy grew 0.1% in August from July, against expectations of a 0.1% decline, with production up 0.8%, services flat and construction down 0.2%, leaving the month's Gross Domestic Product ("GDP") growth resting on one sector. The trade deficit narrowed to £920 million from £2.32 billion in July. Consumer evidence was softer, with the British Retail Consortium reporting retail sales up 1.3% in September on an annual basis, slowing from 2.3% a year earlier as households braced for higher bills and taxes. Ahead of the budget on 28th October, the Institute for Fiscal Studies said higher inflation would erode departmental spending power. The 10-year gilt yield fell 7 basis points to 5.37%...Stocks featured:Antofagasta, Autotrader Group and JD Sports FashionTo find out more about the investment management services offered by Walker Crips, please visit our website:https://www.walkercrips.co.uk/This podcast is intended to be Walker Crips Investment Management’s own commentary on markets.

Oil prices fuel inflation fears
The UK composite purchasing managers' index ("PMI"), a survey which tracks the health of the UK private-sector economy, eased to 52 in September from 52.5 in August, leaving activity growing but more slowly, and the British Retail Consortium put total footfall down 2.9% in the year to September from 1.7% in August. Gilts moved against that softness, the yield rising 7 basis points to 5.44%, as the market priced the Middle East energy shock's inflationary effect and the fiscal risk ahead of Chancellor John Healey's 28 October budget. The Institute for Fiscal Studies argued that inflation, rather than the chancellor's headroom, is the central problem, since rising prices erode departmental budgets while lifting tax receipts...Stocks featured:Barratt Redrow, Experian and Sage GroupTo find out more about the investment management services offered by Walker Crips, please visit our website:https://www.walkercrips.co.uk/This podcast is intended to be Walker Crips Investment Management’s own commentary on markets.

UK economy defies the pressure
The UK economy grew faster than first thought in the second quarter of 2026, with UK gross domestic product ("GDP") revised up to 0.5% from 0.4% by the Office for National Statistics (“ONS”), with the services sector doing most of the work. The manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index ("PMI"), a survey of how manufacturers themselves see conditions, edged up to 51.9 in September from 51.7, holding above the 50 mark that separates growth from contraction. Households looked less comfortable with Nationwide reporting annual house price growth halved to 0.8% in September from 1.6%, the weakest since December 2025. The 10-year gilt yield was little changed at 5.37%, keeping borrowing costs in focus ahead of the budget in three weeks’ time...Stocks featured:ConvaTec Group, IG Group Holdings and WhitbreadTo find out more about the investment management services offered by Walker Crips, please visit our website:https://www.walkercrips.co.uk/This podcast is intended to be Walker Crips Investment Management’s own commentary on markets.

Next month's budget comes into focus
UK economic activity data has softened as the Budget on 28 October draws closer. The flash composite Purchasing Managers' Index ("PMI") fell to 51.7 in September from 52.5 on weaker services growth, though manufacturing was more resilient at 52 and input cost inflation accelerated on higher fuel costs. The Confederation of British Industry (“CBI”) retail sales balance fell to minus 55 from minus 48, orders placed with suppliers declining at the fastest rate since the survey began in 1983. Public sector net borrowing was above expectations at £18.27 billion in August, from £15.35 billion a year earlier, and the 10-year gilt yield rose eight basis points to 5.37%...Stocks featured:Auto Trader, Kingfisher and Smiths GroupTo find out more about the investment management services offered by Walker Crips, please visit our website:https://www.walkercrips.co.uk/This podcast is intended to be Walker Crips Investment Management’s own commentary on markets.
