This monthly commentary gives a roundup of global markets and trends.
In this edition:
- Growth prospects and company earnings have improved this year and look set to continue
- Company profit margins have also been boosted as ‘big data’ drives pricing power
- Sporadic risks relating to elections are worth watching, as is poor market breadth
- We think the second half of the year will be characterised by relatively solid fundamentals
