Welcome to Money Distilled. I’m John Stepek. Every week day I look at the biggest stories in markets and economics, and explain what it all means for your money.

In the most recent episode of the In the City podcast, Phil and I gave Fran our views on what might happen to house prices, share prices and the overall UK economy this year. None of us has a crystal ball of course but we do have plenty of opinions to throw into your mental blender.
