Alas, on Monday unforeseen circumstances limited my time available and I had to restrict this week’s Weekly Insights to a Round Up of Best Ideas and Conviction Calls.
Despite the Middle East turning into open war fare yet again, the underlying outlook for riskier assets depends on how far the bear market in global bonds will stretch itself.
More specifically: how much farther will/can bond yields rise before we see casualties rising?
What is ready to “pop” this time? Chinese property? Unlisted REITs in Europe? Commercial property in the US? Which economy will be the first to crack?
No need to panic, we can rest assured central banks around the world are all too aware of the growing pains, but in the same vein it’s probably best not to ignore the pressures that are building either.
More next week, hopefully. Meanwhile: staying nimble and having some cash on the sideline seems but a sensible position to be in.
