Positioning
Financial markets gripped by inflation fears
Inflation pressure will not ease up any time soon. We are maintaining our underweighted position in global bonds and recommend buying UK equities at the expense of their European counterparts.
Tackling inflation is making it more difficult for central banks to meet the other demands placed on them.
Market overview
A turbulent start to the autumn
The near bankruptcy of the Chinese real estate giant Evergrande gave the financial markets a rude awakening after their summer break. Rising inflation expectations led to losses on the bond markets.
Economy
Chinese economy faces strong headwind
China’s economic problems are persisting. But the outlook for the USA and Europe remains bright.
Model portfolios
Energy and financial stocks hold their own in the inflation environment
The financial markets got off to a turbulent start in autumn. In the environment of increased inflation expectations, commodities are among the winners, bonds among the losers.
