Markets Wrap: SpaceX Returns to Earth, UK Sheds More Stocks
About this episode
Merryn and John discuss significant market developments including SpaceX's IPO price drop and the UK market's stock shedding.
It's been a week of turning points in markets: from Japan's shifting stance on the weak yen, to star fund manager Terry Smith revisiting his "buy and hold" strategy, to incoming British Prime Minister Andy Burnham's apparent last-minute change of heart on chancellor, to SpaceX falling below its IPO price. One thing that didn't change - the UK market keeps shedding stocks. What does it all mean for your money? Merryn and John sum up a hectic week in the Merryn Talks Money Market Wrap. https://www.edfringe.com/tickets/whats-on/the-butcher-the-brewer-the-baker-and-merryn-somerset-webb https://www.fundsmith.co.uk/media/lfhpxi1x/fundsmith-equity-fund-semi-annual-letter-to-shareholders-2026.pdf See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
