Investors Chronicle

Associate editor James Norrington starts the show, covering this week’s Big Read. He and Dan unpack inflationary vs deflationary forces in Western economies and what it means for stock picking and building portfolios. Madelaine Apthorpe is then in the hot seat instead of behind the soundboard to discuss her investigation into cocoa inflation and the confectionery industry. She touches on the reasons for the price rises, the outcome for consumers and what it means for the industry. Last up, Julian Hoffman and Mark Robinson unpack Boeing’s latest results and the strike action the company is facing. They discuss the knock-on effects for other companies and how the new CEO is trying to improve safety.Timestamps00:58 Debt, demographics and money16:26 Cocoa23:38 BoeingClaim your first 12 weeks of Investors' Chronicle Print + Digital for just £12.
