Climbing the Wall of Worry
SUMMARY
- With the slow days of August coming to a close, markets are watching nervously for the seasonally volatile month of September, especially around the options expiry on September 16th – there is much embedded muscle memory of painful ends to Q3 over the years – and are starting to adopt a certain ‘back to school’ mentality, where investors are forced to focus on the – not very attractive – fundamentals.
- As such, we thought it worth getting to the school-books a bit early and discussing a few of the ‘known’ issues (as well as a few known unkowns) that markets are likely to concentrate on over the next few weeks and months
- This year has seen some significant headwinds for all markets, particularly those coming from de-leveraging and, as those headwinds fade, we see some stability emerging and a series of bear market squeezes that are hinting that the bear may be over and the new Bull can begin (see August Market Thinking).
