Interesting video on Damien Talks Money YouTube this week about the UK stock market and how it's out performed the US over the last couple of years and the reasons why - basically, ours is set up better for high interest rates, health issues and war due to the comparative strength of banks, health and defence companies in the overall stock market, as we don't do tech at the same scale.

Yay, go pestilence, war, famine and death!

Yes. And when you add in the weakening USD any business generating profit in any other major currency gets a lift.
 
The silver lining of the Middle East conflict is the share prices of defence, oil and gold mining stocks.
Luckily I’m overweight in these sectors.
 
All the major indices are down circa 2~4% right now.

Europe worst hit. Although the US markets have been static for a wile so less gains to give up.
 
ISA up 3.1% in the last month, down 0.4% this week, not too stressed about this yet

Any downward movements in the US market, for people in this side of the pond at least, are being absorbed by a strengthening dollar against the pound
 
I’ve just increased my pension fund in the FTSE which was doing really well. Great timing! Lol!

The FTSE will bounce back again.

Markets are taking it badly today. Everything is down. The US losing the most right now.

Trump has fkd up here as he's not in control of this. He can't BS his way out.
 
I have cash waiting having sold a fund a few weeks back, I'm listening closely to shitgibbon to see if I can pick up on when he's going to TACO, triggering a market recovery.....
