Market Roundup (08 Aug '25): UK Rate Cut, US Caution, and Markets Finish Strong

Join Andy Prosser, Head of Investments at InvestEngine, for this week’s Market Roundup, your fast, clear update on what’s been moving markets and why it matters.

• Monday: S&P snaps back, 85% of constituents gain, +1.5% US market rebound.
• Midweek dip: Weak US services jobs data and sticky inflation shake confidence.
• Rally resumes: Tech stocks, Apple’s $100B US investment, and Putin–Trump talks lift sentiment.
• Key policies: Fed rate-cut hopes rise; BoE cuts UK base rate to 4%, narrowly (5–4 vote), seen as a pivotal moment.

The overall message? Markets ended the week on a higher note, despite momentum shifts and lingering uncertainty.
