Every month, our Asset Allocation Committee meets to discuss and debate our market outlook. How has our asset allocation changed month-on-month? Here Bernard Swords, Chief Investment Officer, presents our views.
Since the last edition of Top Down, financial markets have staged a recovery. World equities are up 9% in euro terms and the euro area bond market has returned 3.3%.
Over the last month, views about where policy rates will peak in the US and euro area declined – and that has been the main driver of the turn in financial markets. Lower commodity prices, which reduced headline inflation pressures, have also helped.
How has this impacted our asset allocation? And what is our market outlook?
