How you can benefit from the global need for infrastructure

Consumer demand has rallied strongly in the past few months following the lockdowns of the last couple of years. Along with fresh bottlenecks in supply chains and the outbreak of the dramatic conflict in Ukraine, this has led to inflation rising rapidly around the world. Not only is inflation higher than expected, but it is also persisting for longer than originally predicted. Macro-economic trends are now following a familiar pattern: concerns about inflation are prompting central banks to raise interest rates, which in turn is fanning fears of a recession.

Asset Allocation Outlook September

There were two sides to the month of August. Investors started the month optimistically, especially when the US economy turned out to be generating large numbers of new jobs still and inflation declined slightly. These events raised hopes of a soft landing and a shift by the Fed to a less tight monetary policy. However, sentiment underwent a reversal when Fed Chair Powell made it clear that no such change was imminent. This resulted in the equity markets falling again after all in August after the upturn in July. During the rally the US S&P500 had come closest to breaking through the downward trendline of the 200-day moving average but ultimately failed to do so.

Cash is King was the motto for investors in June. All the general asset classes noted losses. This doesn’t mean that there were no discernible differences though. Commodities posted a negative total return of nearly 11%, while global equities were down by over 8%.
