Market Commentary – October 2025

In this month’s Market Commentary, we explore the UK’s return to modest growth, with GDP rising by 0.1% in August and business conditions showing signs of improvement. We also review inflation holding steady at 3.8%, the growing likelihood of an interest rate cut, and the Chancellor’s challenges ahead of the Autumn Budget. Plus, we take a look at another strong month for retail sales and a positive performance across global markets, driven by a US-China trade truce and strong tech earnings.
