Market update: 22 May 2020

Rob & Rob are back again with another Friday market update for you.  It’s been a pretty busy week which neither of The Robs are complaining about right now.  So far, yesterday’s podcast episode where Rob & Rob were pretty bold on their boom or bust predictions, has been quite popular with a lot of feedback coming in.  One topic that the guys discussed on Thursday was the unemployment rate. Since recording, Rob D has been doing some further thinking and has been questioning if the UK hadn’t implemented the furlough scheme, would there be a higher rate of unemployment?  And is the furlough scheme just delaying that potential unemployment rate?  Rob B also shares his thoughts on the employment bounceback which is likely to be felt across certain industries.  Which industries does he think are going to make a comeback first and which does he expect to see a number of redundancies?  Tune in to find out. Enjoy - and we’ll be back next week!   We’d love to hear what you think of our new market updates over on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. You might even have a question you’d like us to cover in the future - if so, pop us a message on social and we’ll see what we can do.   Make sure you’ve liked and subscribed to our YouTube channel where we upload new content every week!  If that wasn’t enough, you can also join our friendly property community on the Property Hub forum.
