Inflation hits target, Nvidia’s market surge, political promises unveiled, and making UK markets more attractive

In the latest AJ Bell Money and Markets podcast, Dan and Laura begin with the UK inflation rate reaching the Bank of England's 2% target, exploring its implications for interest rates. They also discuss Nvidia's remarkable rise to become the world’s most valuable company, and shifts in market shares among supermarkets. Laura brings some analysis of the political party manifestos for the upcoming election, including Labour's plan to introduce new banking hubs. The duo also look at the recent changes to Barclays’ Blue Rewards scheme, which have upset many customers.

Dan speaks to Neil Shah from Edison, who shares insights on improving the UK stock market, and he interviews Dean Orrico, manager of the Middlefield Canadian Investment Trust, to discuss the impact of rate cuts in Canada and parallels with the UK market.
