Chancellor Alistair Darling delivered his Pre Budget (Pre Election) Report on 9th December. Against a backdrop of the worst recession in 'more than half a century', with the UK's AAA credit rating under threat and with the cost of insuring against the default risk on UK Gilts at roughly the same level as that applying to Greek Government stock, it was always difficult to see how Mr Darling was going to be able to appeal to the electorate. more

More than three months on and the market rally keeps on going. The FTSE 100 Index has bounced almost 28% from its March lows. The upward march may be pausing for breath a bit more regularly than it did in its first flush but it doesn’t look like it’s done yet. more

After a five-week spring rally, the arguments are finely poised

The rise in stock markets around the world since early March has taken the bears by surprise. The sharpest five week gain on Wall Street since the 1930s has left the pessimists nursing their wounds and wondering whether they should bite the bullet and join in the fun. Even in Britain, where prices have risen much less sharply, the recent gain makes this one of the strongest rallies since the market turned down in October 2007. more

Available to download now is our Budget review covering the key points of Alastair Darling’s second Budget. Against the background of a global economic crisis and rapidly increasing government borrowing, Mr Darling approved several significant tax changes, some of which had been trailed in last November’s Pre-Budget Report. more

The rapid rebound in stock markets has underscored the dangers of being out of the market when sentiment turns - but will it last?

Investors welcomed the detail of Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner’s plan to rescue the US banking system this week, pushing the S&P 7% higher on 23rd March. This was one of the biggest-ever rises on Wall Street and the best one day performance since the volatile markets of last autumn.

The move is the latest attempt by the US government to cleanse bank balance sheets of the “toxic assets” which have dogged the financial system since the credit crunch began almost two years ago. The new approach will see the Federal Reserve providing loans on generous terms to private sector investors who are willing to buy these problem securities.

The idea is that helping investors buy the assets will take them off the banks’ hands and so free them up to make loans again. It will also put a price on the toxic debt, which will in turn provide a clearer idea of the extent of the losses faced on Wall Street. Markets hate uncertainty so this first glimmer of hope that the fog is clearing had a galvanizing effect on shares.

Following the problems with HBOS, and the proposed takeover by Lloyds TSB and Northern Rock's nationalisation last year, savers are worried about how much of their savings are covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.

On July 1 2008, fast-track payouts were proposed by Chancellor Alistair Darling to help repair consumer confidence. He proposed that savers who lose money when a bank goes under will be given compensation within a week.

He also aims to raise the amount of money protected from the current £35,000 to a new ceiling of £50,000.

However, as it stands these plans have not been finalised and the compensation limit is currently £35,000 per separately authorised institution. more

At the end of July 2007 the UK stockmarket, like many around the world, started to plunge, with billions of pounds being wiped off the value of shares. When you are invested in the stockmarket, such events can be very unnerving. But it is important to remember that historically the market has always recovered. If you have found this an unsettling time and are looking for reasons to feel more positive, we’ve found five similar drops in share prices which were followed by some equally significant recoveries. more
