Euphoria gives way to disillusionment

The sense of euphoria in the USA has evaporated. Realism has set in at the expense of the US dollar and share prices.

New technologies are changing our lives, but whether they can produce continual record corporate earnings remains to be seen.

Positioning

Weakening momentum

The situation on the financial markets has changed. Momentum has weakened considerably. We remain cautiously positioned.

Market overview

Following market turmoil in early August, a recovery was staged last month. However, fresh economic concerns in the USA in early September put the financial markets under pressure again.

Economy

The global economy is lacking momentum

Global economic momentum remains weak. Only foreign trade has improved slightly of late.

Model portfolios

Running hot and cold

The markets are running hot and cold. Overall, the situation is still fragile and we remain cautiously positioned.
