Video: Zurich Investment Insights – The impact of unchanging US rates
Well the markets are all over the place aren’t they! It’s very volatile out in market land at the moment. 1% – 2% swings up and down from day to day are now common place over the past 6 months. This is unusual behaviour and you are probably wondering what is going on.
Most of the world now has contracting economies which will mean lower earnings and higher unemployment which will lead to more modest returns over the coming year or two from shares (but still better than cash and bonds). We may even experience a recession in Australia next year which we have not experienced since 1990. The good news flip side is that there will be some good value in the market so some good buying coming ahead.
I’ve included a short 4 min video from Patrick Noble, Senior Investment Specialist at Zurich Investments with his thoughts of what is going on and an update of the Outlook for the coming months.
Your investments have just been repositioned to take advantage of what the Chrysalis Investment Committee sees coming ahead so you are well placed to benefit from the current change in cycle.
