  • Investors on alert after Japanese market jitters

    Japan continued to preoccupy traders at the start of the week after the country’s prime minister suggested that the government was ready to support the yen, pushing the currency up to its strongest level against the dollar in two months following market turbulence that has been described as a “Liz Truss-lite moment”.

  • Labour ruling committee block Andy Burnham from by-election race

  • FTSE 100 Live: Stocks fall as oil takes hit; YouTube, BBC strike deal

    January 16, 2026

    Good morning and welcome back to the City AM liveblog. How big of a win was yesterday for Rachel Reeves? The economy grew 0.3 per cent in November – faster than expected – as Jaguar Land Rover roared back to life following a costly cyberattack that halted supply chains across the UK. But while this [...]

  • Pound to suffer ‘until May’ amid Starmer leadership troubles

    January 9, 2026

    Sterling will suffer from speculation over Keir Starmer’s leadership until at least the May elections, economists have predicted, with 2026 tipped to become another year where Westminster infighting sparks City jitters.  Analysts at Investec have suggested that the further strengthening of the pound will be held back by continued questions over Starmer’s authority across the [...]

  • FTSE 100 Live: Starmer denies Budget ‘misleading’ as Reeves on brink

    December 1, 2025

    Good morning and welcome back to the City AM liveblog. It was quite the Budget week to end November and for many more questions were created than answered.

  • Bond market braces for gilt and sterling tremors

    November 26, 2025

    Bond market participants are bracing for a fresh round of turbulence in the aftermath of Wednesday’s Budget, with investors rejigging their exposure to gilts having warned the Chancellor’s fiscal plans are “very much under the microscope”. Rachel Reeves is expected to use her second major fiscal shake-up mount a historic tax and spend consolidation in [...]

  • Markets will determine whether Reeves has any credibility left

    November 19, 2025

    It’s a regrettable reality that a politician – or an entire government – can limp on for months or even years after losing credibility in the eyes of voters. In contrast, when markets think the credibility is gone the consequences can be much more immediate. Just ask Liz Truss. One week from today, the Chancellor’s [...]

  • Investors flee UK stocks as Budget jitters echo Liz Truss fiasco

    November 18, 2025

    Fund managers are ditching UK stocks as the fastest pace since Liz Truss and Kwasi Kwarteng panicked markets with the 2022 mini-budget. Global investors have dramatically reduced their risk to UK equities as the Labour government’s second Budget edges closer, where a hefty batch of tax rises are expected to be on the horizon. Rachel [...]

  • Leadership spat sends jitters through bond markets

    November 13, 2025

    Jitters coursed through UK bond markets on Wednesday after a leadership crisis engulfing the Labour government  triggered a jump in gilt yields, leading investors to warn that more political instability risked exacerbating the ‘moron premium’ applied to UK borrowing costs.
