So there is a key debate in the market right now and you have to have a view. Is the Chicken BigMac a delicious 544 kcal addition to the menu or a blight on humanity. Answers on a postcard please. While that rages lets focus some of the other key questions on investors minds with […]
Groundhog day today and it feels quite apt as markets struggle to find clear direction after a fairly painful start to the year: An unconvincing rally for Europe (+0.5%), both growth and value trading higher but with volumes and focus mainly on earnings, clear themes are largely absent. On the macro front a couple of […]
Just like a Vegas cab driver we have a few people here at Redburn who have second lives that are possibly marginally more interesting than the day job. Our (awesome) Head of Reception knocks out a handy Barbara Streisand tune while our up-and-coming Travel & Leisure analyst moonlights as lead singer in a band called […]
So that’s it. Smell you later January. It’s been emotional. A turbulent month comes to an end with just a whiff of a fightback (Stoxx 600 +0.72%) as bedraggled investors look to dust themselves down and go again. The wounds not quite as deep as they could have been but we still start the year […]
An eye catching arrival on the list that our Charts team publish every day as up-and-coming investor Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway eases into the 12 mth relative highs slot. This is Warren’s market isn’t it? Value to the fore. Fear everywhere. Newfangled, loss making technology tumbling. He’s up there with Michael O’Leary for memorable quotes […]
So. Are you DWTK enough to know what WAGMI means? One of my cooler friends left what he now dismissively calls TradFi to go into the crypto world and he has been signing his emails off like that. WAGMI is what the crypto bros say to each other to reassure themselves that they’re doing the […]
Well that was a rollercoaster of a day. Ups. Downs. The occasional glimpse into the abyss. A post lunch slump then a rally to the highs. And that was just me. I’d sort of forgotten what it was like to have a hangover but today served as a very sharp reminder of the pain that […]
Okay so that’s enough of all that nonsense. Meat-free, booze free January set to come to a juddering halt tonight with a trip to Hawksmoor. Quite an aggressive way to end it I’ll admit but my Head of Trading and Product Development wants to try the Monday night £5 corkage offer and tbh one of […]
Having traded sideways for much of the session yesterday, investors in Europe could have been forgiven for thinking the majority of activity had been frontloaded this week and that the Friday session may prove academic. However, like a bat out of hell from the open Equites were under pressure but unlike recent moves lower there […]
A quieter day for markets as we waited to see if World War 3 would indeed break out meant a day spent organizing trips. Business travel is back baby. Geneva first then Madrid then Paris. The return to normal (and the office) continues and markets reflecting that today as airlines caught a bid (Lufthansa +4%). […]
