Stock markets around the world suffered sharp falls this week, but is this a sign of more trouble to come or just a tempest in a teacup?
In this podcast, Georgie Frost, Sam Barker and Simon Lambert discuss what lies behind it all and why investors should avoid the temptation to start changing their portfolios once the horse has bolted.
Simon’s advice is to ignore the voice in your head that tells you to get out now to avoid disaster, but also to pay attention to its existence.
Good news for drivers: car insurance premiums have started to fall for the first time in two years. Or have they?
They are still at near-record levels and have increased a whopping 48 percent since 2022.
Sam discusses why premiums rose so much, who was most affected, and how to keep costs down.
Staying on the topic of insurance, the UK has been rocked by riots last week and This is Money has been looking at what your compensation rights are if your home or car is damaged.
Elsewhere, Sam explains the latest tactic broadband companies are using to extract money from their customers, and asks why regulator Ofcom appears to be looking the other way.
Mortgage rates have been changing rapidly this week and Simon rounds up the latest deals and asks how low they might go.
