   #242 What's behind the excitable government bond market?

   Rises in bond yields across the UK, France and the US among other countries, have sparked concerns among economists, with some yields reaching generational highs. What's driving the movement and what could governments do to bring the exuberance under control? Plus, the UK's economic data is nonetheless looking slightly more upbeat - why is that and will it last? And as we wait to see if the government will move the threshold on its proposed "mansion tax", the team looks at how that and changes to inheritance tax could disproportionately hit families in certain parts of the UK. All on our regular podcast with Daniel Mahoney and James Sproule. Please leave us a review and let us know your thoughts on this week's topics.

With the UK budget only a month away, pressure is mounting on Chancellor John Healey as the economic data is showing good and bad news. What should he pay most attention to? And home ownership has long been the dream of many – we’ll look at data which shows that lenders are offering higher levels of loans, a trend that started just after the global financial crisis.
