This monthly commentary gives a roundup of global markets and trends. 

In this edition:

  • We explore how global stock markets are being boosted by stealth stimuli, such as fiscal easing and record immigration, in the US
  • Improved market liquidity has lessened the full impact of interest rate hikes on the US economy and equities
  • Risks, such as geo-political tensions, stretched valuations, re-acceleration of inflation and elections, still pose a threat
  • We predict that the US bull market still has some way to run as we reflect on past bull markets going back to 1969

 

The value of an investment may go down as well as up and you may get back less than you originally invested.

Past performance is not a guide to future performance.
