About this listen

 🌟 WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE 🌟This week on The Curve Weekly, we’re serving finance news with a side of pop culture mess: the Beckham family feud is officially giving royalty-level drama, complete with billionaire in-laws and a casual $1 million-a-month allowance (just… imagine). We also break down why silver went absolutely feral, shooting up, then dropping hard, plus the big investing lesson: if you’re buying because everyone’s screaming about it, you’re probably late (sorry, Polly 😭). Then, the genuinely groundbreaking bit: a hormone-free male contraceptive pill is in the works, and we unpack whether this could become the next big investing trend (and whether men will actually take it…). And finally, Elon Musk is back doing Elon Musk things: SpaceX + xAI rumours, IPO chatter, and the slightly terrifying possibility of the world’s first trillionaire. Love the finance chat? Help two girlies out by giving the show a rating (only a good one pls) or sending this episode to a friend! 💖WTF does that mean? A guide to all the jargony bits:FOMO – Buying because everyone else is. Dangerous energy.Safe Haven – The “world is scary” investment. Like gold.Commodity – A tradable raw thing (gold, silver, oil).On-paper gains – Profit that isn’t real until you sell.Central banks – The boss banks that control money + rates.Volatility – How rollercoaster-y the price is.Correction – A price drop after things got too hyped.IPO – When a company hits the stock market for the first time.Private company – A company you can’t buy shares in (yet).GLP-1s – Weight-loss meds like Ozempic (big economic ripple effects).Hormone-free – Works without messing with your hormones.Ownership – Building wealth by owning a slice of a business.Credits:Hosts: Victoria Harris & Sophie HallwrightProducer & Editor: Emily RigbySocial & Digital Manager: Lucy Munro⁠⁠Leave us a message on The Curve Hotline 💌☎️⁠⁠For more from The Curve:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Newsletter⁠⁠(00:00:00) Coming up in this episode...(00:01:13) Quick catch up(00:07:17) The Beckham Peltz Saga(00:18:20) The cost of being a woman(00:26:05) Why airlines are about to save $600 million on fuel a year...(00:27:57) What's going on with gold and silver?(00:34:55) Other quick updates...(00:39:40) SpaceX and xAI merger(00:48:08) Wrap up(00:49:55) Thank you for listening!(00:50:33) Financial DisclaimerDisclaimer: Raising The Curve has been prepared solely for informational and educational purposes.
