Q4 2020 Quarterly Outlook
Join our strategy team as they present their cross-asset views as featured in our new Q4 2020 Quarterly Outlook.
We fear that the US election is the biggest political risk we have seen in several decades, as the end of the economic cycle meets inequality, social unrest and a market feeding frenzy driven by the policy response to this deep economic crisis: zero interest rates, infinite government and central bank support. The massive official backstop, with guarantees for demand and jobs in a world of State Capitalism, means that markets and individual freedom have never been more under attack.
Agenda:
- The US election as the key Q4 macro backdrop
- Three distinct pathways and probabilities into year-end
- Climate change and Green Energy
- The outlook for the USD and Gold
- How to structure your equity portfolio
