A video round up of this week’s magazine, highlighting our cover story, features and Business Leader. 

GLISTERING START: The gold price has already set new records in 2026, having reached a record high of $4 549.71/oz on December 26, and having ended 2025 with a gain of 64% – its best annual performance since 1979. Global developments are suggestive of continued strength, with Morgan Stanley forecasting gold to hit $4 800/oz by the fourth quarter. This on the back of falling interest rates, a change in leadership at the Federal Reserve, and buying by central banks and funds.
