Macro Thoughts End of half-year review - Risks are about to increase.


www.macrothoughts.co.uk

After a relatively volatile week for markets, it would seem appropriate to consider the past 6 months, review market sentiment changes and assess the next 6 months. 

  • Current Fed policy influenced by China’s slowdown in 2015 – Yellen sets the tone in July
  • CB comments need to be taken in context
  • Commodity prices a warning to all asset classes
  • US Inflation may already have peaked
  • Care needed for Bond bears
  • Consensus positioning continues to be a problem for markets
  • The ECB isn’t suddenly turning hawkish – Constâncio comments
  • UK economic deterioration, things can only get better
  • MT 2017 round up of comments and strategies during the past 6 months

This week, four key central banks gave bond markets a mini lightening jolt, but when the action starts, will CBs be ready for the full storm?  

Risks are about to increase.
