The UK & European economies

Morningstar UK: Podcasts

This month we focus on the UK and European economies. Three key forces have ensured strong growth from most European markets so far this year, but structural flaws still need to be addressed. Holly Cook and Morningstar’s senior analyst Jose Garcia Zarate discuss this very issue and more. Turning to the UK specifically, Morningstar took to the streets to find out from the public what their views were on how well they feel the UK economy is doing. So sentiment about the UK economy is still fairly confident but of course there are some concerns about rising property prices. We return to Holly Cook and Jose Garcia Zarate who discuss the UK economy in more detail. Also Morningstar editor Emma Wall about how the falling oil price has pushed down inflation in the UK. Finally Emma wraps up our podcast with an interview with Michael Hulme, manager of the Carmignac Portfolio Commodities Fund on his predictions concerning the current economic trends and how they may affect oil and gold prices.
