What's HotWhat’s Hot

  • Not much excitement in growth terms.
  • Property shares modest recovery has been encouraged by rate cut hopes, similarly Sterling High Yield and the two European Equity sectors.
  • Japan bounced after the early month “flash crash”.
  • The Autumn should prove to be much more exciting!

 

What’s Not

  • Hopes were dashed for those believing in a US small caps resurgence. Economic reality is casting a shadow.
  • Commodities lost momentum, in the absence of a catalyst from China…
  • …and China funds struggled for another month.
  • Bets were also taken off high flying Tech and India sectors – both are very stretched.
