The Nvidia Shock and Britain’s Housing Problem

November 13, 2026 · 20 min

Show notes

In this week’s Markets Wrap, Merryn Somerset Webb and John Stepek discuss the financial fallout from the scandal surrounding Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, what it means for Nvidia investors and the
wider AI trade, and why even passive investors could be exposed. Plus, they look at the worsening state of the UK housing market, the pressure from higher interest rates and what falling house
prices could mean for household wealth and the Bank of Mum and Dad.
