Instability to Give Way to Renewed Confidence?
Through the end of June, markets have posted lackluster returns, with the S&P gaining 2.6% YTD (year to date) and the ACWI ex-US declining (-3.8%). The dollar appreciated during the first half, so results for the ACWI ex-US in local currencies were better than the loss posted in dollars. We think the market is wrestling with a number of cross currents that probably leave it posting lackluster returns until we get some clarity of how the current challenges facing it will be addressed. Those challenges include:
Against these concerns, we believe there are opportunities forming as markets have not kept pace with the improvement in underlying fundamentals.
As markets become more comfortable that economic growth is sustainable, they are likely to start acting better later on this year. The case for international investing remains strong, in our opinion, and we think investors should consider increasing their allocations to those markets.
