Markets Weekly: AI Sparks Market Rotation, UK Political Risk, and the Pensions Property Debate
Podcast: Merryn Talks MoneyPublished On: Fri Feb 13 2026
Description: On this week's markets wrap, hosts Merryn Somerset Webb and John Stepek discuss a sharp market rotation driven by growing fears that AI will disrupt – rather than simply enhance – major sectors including legal services, wealth management, and digital platforms. As “old economy” stocks rise and Asian and European markets outperform, Merryn and John debate whether investors should shift away from the US and reassess opportunities in the UK, emerging markets, and smaller caps amid political uncertainty.
