Markets have been on the rise since the U.S. election, a mood that the Private Bank’s Chief Global Investment Officer, Christian Nolting, described as “euphoria” – though he said it may start to temper. “The discussion about austerity is probably gone for the time being,” and that could be inflationary and send longer-term yields higher, Christian says. “We do not expect yields to go massively lower from here.” Meanwhile, third-quarter earnings season is mostly complete, though there are still some major names left to report. “If companies continue to deliver on the earnings, that could justify higher index levels,” Christian says. In the week ahead, he says he’ll be keeping an eye on whether U.S. services PMIs remain in growth mode.

Forecasts are based on assumptions, estimates, opinions and hypothetical models which may prove to be incorrect. Past performance is not indicative of future returns. Performance refers to a nominal value based on price gains/losses and does not take into account inflation. Inflation will have a negative impact on the purchasing power of this nominal monetary value. Depending on the current level of inflation, this may lead to a real loss in value, even if the nominal performance of the investment is positive. Investments come with risk. The value of an investment can fall as well as rise and you might not get back the amount originally invested at any point in time. Your capital may be at risk.
