Global share prices experienced sharp falls in UK, US and Asia as rising prices and slowing economies spook investors.
On Wednesday, US shares recorded the biggest one-day drop in two years since the start of the pandemic.
The NASDAQ plummeted 4.7% and has opened down again continuing a longer-term decline – down 18% YTD and the DOW JONES declined 14% since the start of 2022.
It’s not only tec stocks being sold off. Blue chips, like Unilever and Tesco’s, have also dropped by 4.4% and 5% respectively. The biggest Faller on the UK market was Royal mail plummeted 12%. The UK FTSE 100 index fell 150 points today.
Inflation
Inflation is eating away at your savings as well as costing you more to live. The buying power of your money in the bank is falling by around 10% every year, which means that £1000 will be worth just £900 next year.
In other words, in 12 months’ time your £1000 will buy you the equivalent of £900 of the same goods. In the meantime, the price of those goods are going up by 10%.
If inflation figures were calculated in the same way as they were previously headline rate would be double today’s official rate.
Main points:
· Retail prices index rising by 13% pa and includes the price of all goods excluding property costs – which have gone up massively.
· Manufacturers price rises rising by over 15% pa.
· Commodities, such as oil, wheat, fertiliser and animal feed have gone up by 50% to 100% in some cases.
· The war is not causing inflation, sanctions are.
· UK economy fell in April by 0.1%.
· US economy declines for first time since 2020.

UK Economy dips last month following US quarterly fall in output.
The vast majority of 'buy-to-let' landlords are small investors with one or two properties, and many are accidental landlords. Landlords I have spoken to said they would pull out of the market if 'open tenancies' were forced upon them and would be too nervous to rent out a property to a tenant were they would not be sure about getting back possession at the end of the tenancy.

Interest rates rise as Bank of England warn of recession and 10% inflation
The Bank of England has warned that the UK economy will shrink this year as it raises interest rates to try to stem the pace of rising prices.
Base rates were hiked to 1% from 0.75% (50% higher), their highest level since 2009 and the fourth consecutive increase since December.
With fuel, energy and food costs soaring partly due to the Ukraine war, inflation is now at a 30-year high and will reach 10% by the end of the year, according to Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey.
Ordinary people are starting to rein in spending which is hitting growth.

Will higher interest rates curb inflation?
Higher interest rates make it more expensive for consumers and businesses to borrow, leading to lower spending and demand. People start spending less, demand for goods and services cool slowing the pace of price rises.
However, there are some economists who think that that increases in interest rates may have little effect in a situation of rising global oil and gas prices.
The Bank of England’s Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) said the UK economy is expected to contract in the final three months of this year. It is also expected to shrink by 0.25% in 2023, down from the Bank's previous forecast of 1.25% growth.
The MPC has also slashed its growth outlook for 2024 to 0.25%, down from 1%.
Bank of England governor Andrew Bailey said the UK was set for "a very sharp slowdown" but declined to call it a recession.
A majority of six members of the Bank's MPC voted to lift interest rates to 1% but the remaining three members wanted a steeper rise to 1.25%.
The Bank now expects inflation to hit 9% in the coming months - up from its previous forecast of 8% - and to reach 10.25% by the end of the year.
Fed raise rates by highest in 22 years
The US central bank has announced its biggest interest rate increase in more than two decades as it toughens its fight against fast rising prices.
The Federal Reserve said it was lifting its benchmark interest rate by half a percentage point, to a range of 0.75% to 1% after a smaller rise in March.
With US inflation at a 40-year high, further hikes are expected.
Last year, the Fed and BOE claimed that inflation was transitory and temporary.
Stock markets around the world ended the week in the red with the Nasdaq falling 5% on Thursday, the largest fall in two decades.

Trouble ahead as consumer prices reach highest level since 1992
“Over 36 countries depend on Russia or Ukraine for half their wheat imports”
Antonio Guterres, UN Secretary General
In a broadcast this week, the UN Secretary General warned of rising poverty and added:
· Wheat up 30%
· Oil up 60%
· Natural Gas up 50%
· Fertiliser up 100%
These essential commodities affect all our daily lives and have risen in price far above the published inflation rate.
Official CPI inflation in the UK is now at 7% pa and, with commodity prices soaring, could reach double digits before the year end.
Prices are going up at the fastest rate for 30 years when the UK was in recession and the property market was stagnant.
Pay rises are falling behind against the cost of living, which means people have less money to spend on luxuries after paying for essentials.
Businesses are facing the dark prospect of higher costs and lower income.
Savers are seeing the value of their capital eroded by inflation – every £100 will buy £93 next year if the rate stays the same.

UK house prises continue to rise due to a shortage of family homes, the Halifax reports
Despite the worst recession since the second world war, the price of the average home in the UK has rocketed by £43,577 since the start of the first lockdown two years ago, the Halifax has said.
The UK’s biggest mortgage lender said the 18.2% rise increased the cost of an average home to £282,753.
Buyers seeking more space saw a 21% rise in the price of detached homes compared with a 11% rise in flat prices over the same period.
Higher mortgage rates will start to reduce buyer affordability and the amount people can borrow, which may dampen prices.
Increased living costs will inevitably affect how much first-time buyers can save, borrow and spend on a property.
As we enter the traditional springtime buyer activity season, estate agents are already reporting continued demand and a shortage of larger family houses, which means sellers can obtained higher prices.

Are Your Learned Limiting Beliefs Holding You Back?
Many of us have baggage that we carry around throughout our lives like a camel.
Most of these limiting beliefs or fixed ideas are things that we have learnedthrough experience from people or events in our lives. Some of these come from a parents, friends, lovers, teachers and so on.
Watch video version.
Unfortunately, many of these beliefs are negative. They have not come from successful, positive people, but usually from unsuccessful, negative people that we encounter in our lives.
We carry these beliefs around like backpacks which weighs us down throughout our lives.
We drag them into new relationships and expect people to accommodate us and our emotional baggage.
Examples of these beliefs could be:
· I don’t trust men, I don’t trust women
· Rich people are greedy crooks or evil
· Money is the root of all evil or is bad for us
· People who are nice to us want something in return.
· People of a certain race, age or gender are this way or that way
Learned beliefs are deeply ingrained into our minds like a default setting, which you can replace with a new setting.
We will continue to carry beliefs around and unless we deal with them they will slow us down for the rest of our lives.
Instead of taking the ‘beliefs backpack’ off of our backs and mentally throwing on a virtual fire, we expect people to “deal with it” because “this how I am” so “take it or leave it”!
There are many books, techniques and guided meditations available to help you unblock or get rid of limiting beliefs.
Find something that works best for you and helps free you from any beliefs which are holding you back.
Economic winter
The economy is in winter, but winters are tough but they never last forever. Like the farmer who prepares for the next season’s work, now is the time get ready and come out even stronger when the recession ends.
