## Resource

In the latest Ben Squared podcast the resident pairing discuss potential ‘high level’ scenarios for how the Middle East conflict may unfold, accompanied by probabilities, market predictions, and a whole heap of caveats and disclaimers. This scenario analysis is then discussed in the context of longer-term investment strategy, and the impact that has (or hasn’t) had. Finally, some time is dedicated to the UK mortgage market which is moving at quite a pace and presenting an increasing threat to the UK economy. This podcast was recorded on 24th March 2026. *This podcast is for UK Professional Clients Only. Capital at Risk. Past performance does not predict future returns. Hosted on Ausha.
