The economic outlook remains in “contraction” territory specifically with a view towards the US, where the ongoing restrictions to credit supply will continue to weigh on economic activity.
Valuations are “expensive”, driven by a fairly narrow market rally. We are focussing on sectors with more attractive valuations where possible, positioning portfolios for a broader recovery.
Momentum for equities has remained positive as prices continued above their 10-months moving average metric that we favour. This is a strong bullish signal in the short term.
As ever, we are constantly monitoring markets. Should conditions change, particularly with regards to the economic regime or signals from our valuation, momentum and sentiment framework, we will adjust our asset allocation accordingly.
