#USstocks futures gain on Trump victory, buoyed by the prospect of lower corporate tax. #USgovernmentbonds yields have risen on heightened #inflationrisk because of policies such as increased tariffs. This has pushed the dollar higher too. Republicans’ new Senate control will help Trump act. Our US election report has more details of what Trump means for markets. #Trumponomics

#Chancellor #RachelReeves used her first #Budget to hit reset, with big increases in tax and spending plus a major change to the #fiscalrules to give her room to increase public investment. We’re pleased the government wants to revive investment, which could boost economic growth over the very long term. But tax changes such as higher #CapitalGainsTax could depress private investment.

First #Labour #Budget will raise £40bn of #taxes, the most since 1993, falling predominantly on businesses and the wealthy. But it will also leave some working people paying more tax, with #inflation pushing more people into #HigherBands. The return to inflation uplifts for thresholds is welcome, but there’s a long way to go to rebuild them.

Last week we sponsored the LAPADA - The Association of Art & Antiques Dealers Fair, an event that brings together exceptional art, craftsmanship and history under one roof. It was an inspiring fair filled with beautiful pieces and we’re proud to support an incredible community that values artistry and heritage. Thank you to everyone who attended and helped make the event a success.

We’re thrilled to partner with LAPADA - The Association of Art & Antiques Dealers for this year’s art and antiques fair in Berkeley Square.   A unique stage that welcomes visitors from across the world, the Fair blends' eclecticism, artistry and hospitality in perfect measure. Visit us in Berkeley Square at stand A-50 and experience the beauty of art first-hand.
