Equities and Gold have the Edge over Bonds

The risk-on sentiment in the market remains evident, firmly supported by recent economic data flow. We note that economists – not wanting to be caught off guard – have been busy upgrading their current-year GDP forecasts for the United States and China over the past few weeks.

A World of Sharp Contrasts

While the US equity market continues to push higher, the economic backdrop remains mixed. Data released last week showed that the Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index dropped to 98.7 in September, with the “present situation” sub-index declining sharply, indicating a potential economic downturn. Historical evidence suggests that a 20% decline in the current situation sub-index often precedes a recession. The ratio of consumers finding it difficult to get a job has worsened, predicting a rise in unemployment to 5.3% and signalling labour market pressure.
