In this week’s podcast Michael Brown (Senior Market Strategist from Pepperstone) and Michael Hewson discuss what’s driving the new record highs for the FTSE100, Nikkei 225 and US markets, as markets increasingly embrace the prospect of new trade deals, following on from the US/Japan and UK/India deals.
This week has seen positive market reactions to the numbers from the likes of ITV, BT Group, Vodafone and Reckitt Benckiser and Alphabet. Could they be a precursor to similar strong numbers next week from the likes of Rolls-Royce, AstraZeneca, BAE Systems, Apple, Amazon and Microsoft amongst others.
