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.
It's a new year, but markets are still dealing with the problems of 2022. As central banks fight inflation, interest rates in the euro area are expected to increase from 0.5% to 3.5%.
Both headline and core level inflation are decelerating in the US month on month.
In China, most Covid-19 restrictions have been removed and the hope is that the economy will follow a similar path to that of Europe and the US in 2020/2021.
How do these factors impact our market outlook? And how has our asset allocation changed?
