Navigating the mortgage maze, higher interest rates hurting companies and why takeovers have fired up the biotech space

This week’s podcast explores the market reaction to UK interest rates going up once again.

Laura Suter talks to David Hollingworth from mortgage broker L&C about whether someone should fix their mortgage or stay on a variable rate.

Dan Coatsworth explores the companies which are starting to feel the pain from higher interest rates including housebuilder Berkeley, builders’ merchant Travis Perkins and car seller Motorpoint.

Tom Sieber considers the takeover rumours surrounding Ocado and why some companies in the retail and leisure sectors have shrugged off the negative backdrop to report decent trading.

Finally, Dan talks to Rod Wong from investment trust RTW Venture about investing in the biotech space.
