It’s now over a month since either the S&P or the EuroStoxx 50 had a 1% daily move in either direction but the first signs that it was trying to change that trend greeted us this afternoon. Market trading sideways is good news if you’re happy with your performance YTD and have a lot in […]

Redburn table tennis doubles tournament this evening which when accompanied with pizza and drinks gets quite the turnout. Alternate shots the real difficulty here, navigating around teammates flailing limbs but very much looking forward to a light-hearted rally, which is incidentally what we’re experiencing in the markets. European markets continue to push higher, charts guru’s […]

First time putting a suit and tie on in a couple of years and the top button strain a clear sign that Christmas is around the corner and we all know this is not the time to try and do anything about that. Sadly that feeling is one that is being felt within the European […]

So I’m off to Paris for a few days. Described by Macron’s heritage tsar, Stephane Bern, at the weekend as a “rubbish bin” as he announced he’s moving to the countryside because the city is “dirty, increasingly ugly and violent”. What nonsense. Three incredible restaurants plus some great clients lined up and the chance to […]

Finishing the week fresh as a daisy here after a rare Thursday night watching my daughters play netball rather than being Out Out (Double Out for the real geezers) with clients. That’s most definitely the calm before the storm as a look at the diary suggests a gentle 21 lunches or dinners with clients in […]

Rotation was rife with yields and the dollar climbing and price momentum in Europe […]

So you’ll be glad to know that our gleamingly shiny Best Trading Performance Trophy has made it into the office. Our head of trading Phil “The Bizzley” Risley presumably having had some sort of Steven Gerrard type action with it for the last few days but it’s now on display. That said, we’ll not mention […]

So the UK-US travel corridor confirmed as being open by the stampede of Redburn New Yorkers arriving into the office today. Finer dentistry you will not see. A flurry of white teeth and big hair and unbridled enthusiasm and you can’t help but be swept along by the positivity despite a properly boring start to […]

On the off-chance you hear some fireworks in London this evening it’s very possibly people celebrating Redburn winning BEST TRADING PERFORMANCE at the Leaders in Trading awards ceremony last night. An incredible achievement given the behemoths that we were up against and a credit to the entire team here. I don’t often talk of our […]

So there it is then – the moment we’ve all been waiting for. Weeks of anticipation and finally it’s here. Yes the John Lewis advert is out and Christmas planning can officially begin. If you’ve already seen it no spoilers please. Very much a Quick family tradition to watch together albeit they definitely peaked with […]
