Our latest Investment Strategy Quarterly considers the complexities of today’s markets while drawing insights from the past. This edition includes the historic and current impact of tariffs, asks if the US still holds its safe-haven appeal for investors, and examines energy costs and AI.

I cannot remember either, but the history books tell us that this was the last date when the Bank of England raised interest rates (by a quarter of a percentage to 5.75%). Since this point, interest rates have only fallen, including the most recent August 2016 decrease to the current rate of just 0.25%.
