Market Wrap: Scotch watch
Join Share Radio's Simon Rose as he investigates this and what else has been happening in the bourses and businesses of Britain and the world. To put the day's events in context, he was joined by Garry White, Chief Investment Commentator at Charles Stanley Direct, and Paul Sedgewick Head of Investments at Frank Investments. In today's wrap: the Dow Jones Industrial Average traded above 20,000 for the first time at the start of trading today; WH Smith's travel stores performed well over the holiday period, resulting in the company upgrading its full-year profit forecast; Santander's profits for last year plunged following the EU referendum; and Scotch whisky contributes nearly £5bn a year to the UK economy.
