OBR report fuels tax rumours, Trump tariffs update and will investors lose patience with Elon Musk?
In this week’s AJ Bell Money and Markets podcast, Charlene Young and Danni Hewson dive into the latest financial news, from Trump’s latest tariff manoeuvres [02:00] to Elon Musk’s surprise announcement of a new US political party and what that could mean for Tesla [08:47]. They explore how markets are responding to these unpredictable headlines, including the impact on copper prices [06:00] and the so-called "TACO trade." Back in the UK, there have been some big developments affecting housebuilders [12:57], an underwhelming preview from Shell [14:58], and pressure mounting on the government’s finances [17:39] — particularly the ballooning cost of the State Pension triple lock.
The episode also sheds light on a worrying HMRC issue: over 600,000 people have been fined for not filing tax returns despite owing no tax [21:31]. Later in the show, Shares magazine’s Tom Sieber spotlights his investment trust dividend heroes [24:51], and James Flintoft joins Danni to analyse AJ Bell fund performance in Q2 and what may shape markets in the second half of 2025 [29:13].
