Greggs, Domino’s Pizza & Asda: Why they’re pivoting

Join Dan Coatsworth and Charlene Young on the AJ Bell Money & Markets Show to get smart investing insight, business news and practical takeaways – all in one episode.

The pair cover a stark IMF warning on the global economy, what the latest market moves mean for investors, and how professional fund managers are positioning their money right now.

There’s company news from BP and Vistry, a look at why house flipping is falling out of favour, and a reality check on whether playing the lottery could be holding back your long‑term wealth.

With the new tax year underway, Charlene explains Bed & ISA in plain English. She also chats with Dan about why Greggs, Domino’s and Asda are making eyebrow‑raising moves – plus rumours of Lidl entering the UK mobile phone market.

That leads into Amazon’s latest play combining phones and space, why there is confusion about the state pension confusion, and a warning about rising scam risks.
