We updated our FY24 visitor numbers after Canadian peer Cineplex disclosed that recent Hollywood tentpoles like Moana 2 and Wicked fuelled blockbuster box office performance in December 2024 but less than we thought.

The long anticipated interest rate cuts by central banks have finally started. The Trump election victory in the US does not bode well for European stocks as he favours a protectionist course. Although industrial companies with a US base could actually benefit. Cleantech names with exposure to the US could also suffer (unless owned by E.Musk). We expect the US ...
