A Charles Stanley Direct survey found that younger investors were more positive about last month’s Budget than older investors. The article also reports mixed views on household finances and confidence in non-essential spending.

78% of Gen Z investors and 68% of millennials felt positively about the Budget, compared with 37% of Gen X and 28% of baby boomers.
The article says the Budget included a one-off £100 energy payment and tax rises on property rental and savings income.
Separate Barclays research found that a third of UK adults thought the Budget did not do enough for households, while 32% were less confident about non-essential spending.
