Global uncertainty but spring is here

Philip J Milton & Company Plc — Sat, 04 Apr 2026 11:55:58 +0000

Welcome to spring and longer days (with all the clocks springing forward too). It’s always lovely to see new life bursting forth, oblivious to everything else happening in the world and ever was it thus. In this we have something to appreciate, regardless of all the geopolitical traumas or indeed personal afflictions which may be […]

Hunting for safe havens

Philip J Milton & Company Plc — Wed, 25 Mar 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Where are all the safe havens? As the markets slip, even gold and silver fall (though as I have kept saying, they have been too dear anyway and ‘alternative safety’ assets need always to be cheap to start). Not that we’re chartists but the charts for those two have boded very badly indeed. We have […]

Markets continue to wobble

Philip J Milton & Company Plc — Sat, 14 Mar 2026 13:00:30 +0000

Oh dear, more uncertainties afflicting global markets as a consequence of the attacks on Iran and then the ramifications. They are dreadful and for the innocent people involved but as for the financial implications, on capital markets, maybe retrenchment reflects the ‘need’ for profit-taking it seems. This is even discounting unintended consequences, such as a […]

Uncertainty as US attacks Iran

Philip J Milton & Company Plc — Tue, 03 Mar 2026 17:54:42 +0000

So, early Saturday we awoke to news that bombings had taken place in Iran and the inevitable retaliation as a consequence. The weekend oil price jumped significantly and the world waits to digest the consequences. It is too early to predict outcomes but the hope will be for a short, sharp shock and a return […]

Dollar doldrums and silver surfing

Philip J Milton & Company Plc — Fri, 13 Feb 2026 11:45:45 +0000

Quietly and gently and perhaps almost unnoticed, the US Dollar had been seeing a drift downhill before strengthening again over last week. Against Sterling it has now been the lowest since September 2021, having fallen by over 26% since the Pound’s trough in July 2022. We are not so unhappy as we have currency in […]

Some growth but inflation bites

Philip J Milton & Company Plc — Fri, 30 Jan 2026 09:00:00 +0000

It’s been good to see some economic growth with an unexpected 0.3% figure in November. Services and production rose and construction fell. The results at least counter some of the previous slippage but won’t be giving a great annualised figure regardless – but all helping. Likewise, whilst we read a colossal 700,000 graduates are unemployed, […]

Silver prices surge

Philip J Milton & Company Plc — Thu, 15 Jan 2026 09:00:00 +0000

I am still reeling from Silver’s 130% increase in 2025. Gold was a mere 53%. And yes, it has continued – £1,000 of silver on 1/1/25 is now £2,960 – I am becoming speechless. We have trimmed some of ours but still hold over £3million but as noted, we can’t hold it any longer as […]

Happy New Year for farmers

A Happy New Year. I hope that your celebrations of all Christmas really means was good and joyful and that you have seen-in the New Year with relish! Already the days are opening-out and spring, albeit very cold, is daring to peek through the wintry gloom. What a nice Christmas present for ‘farmers’ with the […]

A message from the Chancellor…

Philip J Milton & Company Plc — Fri, 07 Nov 2025 17:30:00 +0000

Good afternoon. I have just returned from a relaxing and much-needed break which took us to bustling Hungary, Slovakia and Austria. Yes, I took the computer though the inbox defied my occasional review so apologies if you are still awaiting my reply! I returned to an unexpected speech from our Chancellor. I should like to […]
