Welcome to Citrus Bites, your monthly dose of financial insights from Citrus Financial. This month, Richard Harris provides his usual economic update and we’re joined by Gemma Woodward, Head of Responsible Investing at Quilter Cheviot, to discuss a topic increasingly important to investors: Responsible Investment (RI).
Economic Update
Richard dives into the key economic indicators, focusing on the question of when interest rates might fall. While inflation shows signs of receding, wage growth remains high, and developments in the middle east adds uncertainty. A Bank of England rate cut in June seems less likely. Richard also answers a viewer’s question on how much rising interest rates contribute to inflation.
