Chris lays out the background for the piece, the positives and the negatives on the continent, and highlights the sectors and countries investors may be particularly interested in.

Next up, investment clubs. Many of our listeners will be well-versed on the topic, but for those who are not, Holly McKechnie lays out what they are, the number of clubs in the UK at the last count and their future in light of Interactive Investors’ announcement.

Last up, Mark Robinson talks through Uniphar’s (UPR) latest results. The Irish Aim-traded pharmaceutical company’s share price has doubled in the past year, so Mark and Dan unpack what went right and how tariffs may affect the business.

We start with commodities expert Alex Hamer, the author of this week’s Big Read on nuclear power. Tech giants' need for the contentious energy source has revived plants around the globe. Alex unpacks what this means for the industry so far, and the prospects for the uranium market and small modular reactors (SMRs).

Next up, the world’s most valuable company, Nvidia (NVDA). New York-based reporter Arthur Sants discusses the company’s latest results, the uncertainty regarding sales to China, as well as Intel’s two recent big investors: the US government and SoftBank. Alex Newman also weighs in on the subject.

Mark Robinson covers Boohoo’s (DEBS) recent, delayed results, which showed some overhang from its old business. It’s move to be a third-party seller, similar to that of M&S (MKS) and Next (NXT) could be fruitful, but the competition is rife. Listen to find out more.
