This week’s podcast begins with Alex Hamer discussing our latest cover feature on the rise of gold and to a lesser extent copper prices. Alex outlines the drivers of these price moves and highlights a variety of companies seeking to take advantage of these trends.


Then, in a week when the biggest UK political parties all published their general election manifestos, Hermione Taylor asks what these pledges might mean for both the national and household finances.


We conclude with a look at full-year results from safety equipment manufacturer Halma (HLMA). Mark Robinson asks whether another year of healthy growth has cemented its status as a quality UK share.
