Why is the FTSE 100 soaring – and can its run continue? This is Money podcast




The flying Footsie is on course for the best start to the year since 1998 and driving it are 20 stocks that have risen by 50 per cent or more in the past year.

Simon Lambert, Lee Boyce and Georgie Frost discuss what’s going on for the flagship UK index and whether the run can continue.

They also zoom in on Rolls Royce… its shares have soared by more than a thousand per cent in five years. Is it too late to join the party?

When it comes to Junior Isas, many parents worry that once their children get access, they’ll fritter it away – but is that really the case? New analysis suggests not.

And NS&I has cut the underlying rate on its Premium Bonds to 3.3%. Is it time to move your money?

The Government is rolling out the next phase of making tax digital which will require some to file quarterly – is expensive chaos on the way?

Lastly, can you save money with an EV versus a petrol equivalent? Or does the maths simply not add up?
