This week, Jane Parry, Chief Marketing Officer, is joined by Kamal Warraich, Head of Fund Selection, to sift through the noise and break down a week packed with market drama.

From silver surging on artificial intelligence (AI) demand and corporate earnings surprises to President Trump making headlines with more trade tariffs and a high-stakes tussle over Greenland, there’s plenty to digest.

Together they discuss:

• Inflation in the US and Eurozone remaining steady – not rising, not falling fast

• Silver hitting historic highs thanks to AI, electric vehicles and supply constraints

• Corporate earnings updates, including tech and banking surprises

• Trump tariffs and Greenland trade tensions adding volatility.

Kamal explains how politics, supply and demand and global headlines are shaping markets in 2026 already and why staying diversified, alert and disciplined will be key for investors this year.

In the first Coffee Break podcast of 2026, Jane Parry is joined by guest host Richard Champion, Co-Chief Investment Officer, to take stock of where markets stand after two strong years and what may lie ahead as the global backdrop becomes more complex.

Together, they discuss:

• US central bank tensions and political pressure on interest rates

• Gold hitting record highs amid high government debt

• Strong corporate earnings driving equity markets

• Why 2026 may be volatile but still promising for investors.

Richard explains why the current environment points to continued progress rather than a market peak, but also why staying diversified, disciplined and alert to inflation risks will be crucial in the year ahead.
