Father-of-six Nicolas Bryon didn't get much sleep, but it wasn't family duties keeping him up. He was one of a few hedge funds managers around the world who managed to make money in March and April.

Nicolas Bryon has an unorthodox belief: he actually believes in market timing. A willingness to rebuff the accepted market wisdom warning about the perils of doing so allowed the fund manager to outshine the "time in the market" crowd with a 17.2 per cent return in March (...)

It was quite a week as traders reacted to back-and-forth trade news, as well as the yield curve inversion. Tariff relief led to big gains on Tuesday as the U.S. delayed some levies on China, but recession fears then took centre stage, with the Dow plunging 800 points on Wednesday and posting its largest decline of the year.

Equities then returned to gains amid forecasts of central bank easing and the U.S. and China toning down their trade war rhetoric.

Weekly Research Report – 19 August 2019

The major stock averages posted their third straight weekly losses, with the Dow dropping 1.5%, the S&P slumping 1% and the Nasdaq retreating 0.8%.

Last week the S&P 500 lost 0.4%, but this tame result misses the big story. The trading range was 4.1%, including 2.7% in a single day. That’s big.

The big winners for the week were gold and U.S. Treasuries, the classic safe havens.

Last week investors were whipsawed between “risk on” (equities) and “risk off” (bonds, gold), following the various dramas of the U.S/China trade war.

Despite a tough week for global equity markets, the ”big four” economic indicators show a very healthy U.S. economy in spite of trade tensions.

In addition, the dividend yield on the S&P 500 is now above the 10 yr treasury yield. That’s something that has not happened in years. Historically this can be very positive for equity demand.

Not the best week for global equities. Investors remained focused on Trump's threat to extend tariffs, ignoring a healthy jobs market and a jobless rate at a 50-year-low.

Solid results from Google and Twitter last week sparked communication services to the top of the S&P sector leaderboard, and contributed to the S&P 500 hitting a new record high.

This week the Fed will announce its decision regarding interest rates. The market fully expects policymakers to lower rates at the July meeting.

Another solid week for global equity markets. Stocks rallied following a set of strong earnings reports and data showing the U.S. domestic economy continuing to grow at a healthy clip, including the strongest pace for consumer spending since late 2017.

Fifty-six S&P 500 companies are expected to report earnings this coming week. But how important are earnings results anyway?

Very! They are the main determinant of share price performance over the medium term.

So what should investors focus on during announcement season?

U.S. stocks closed out a strong week with the S&P 500, Dow and Nasdaq all at record highs, as Fed Chairman Powell's signal of likely lower rates later this month outweighed growing worries about the state of the global economy.

Is the longest U.S economic expansion approaching its finale? We're not so sure...

We look at a series of charts and indicators that challenge some of the negative views coming from segments of the media and industry.

Another good week for global equities. The U.S. and China reached a trade truce at the G20 that included no new tariffs, an agreement to restart negotiations, and even a reprieve for Huawei.

Clay Carter and the Macrovue investment committee look at three companies dominating the industries in which they operate.

Macrovue’s investment committee looks at three high quality global companies that have the potential for a high rate of dividend growth based on superior earnings growth and cash flow generation.

Markets were higher on Friday but for the week a bit of profit taking and a stronger AUD pressured global equity returns for local investors. No doubt stocks were in a “holding pattern” ahead of G-20 on the weekend.

The Fed noted that U.S banks have strong capital levels and virtually all are now meeting supervisory expectations for capital planning, which then buoyed the financial sector on Friday. U.S. banks can now increase their dividends.

It should be an interesting week coming up for markets given that President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping agreed to a cease-fire on trade.
