A rebound is on the cards but won’t last forever

The markets are taking things in their stride

After breathtaking rallies in the second half of April and May, global equity indices continued to perform well, albeit more moderately.

News Flash - August 2024 - The return of market volatility

Die US-Wahlen und ihre weltweiten Auswirkungen!

Les probabilités que Donald Trump retourne à la Maison-Blanche 4 ans après son premier mandat ont sérieusement grimpé. A quel impact faut-il s'attendre ?

Tireless, these markets!

June saw the global markets continue to rise (more than 3% in EUR), seemingly untroubled by the gloomy atmosphere that followed the results of the European elections and the French government crisis.

Sunshine returns, volatility dissipates.

We all wondered where the sun went in May. It certainly shone on the equity markets, marking their recovery after a volatile month of April. Global equities rose by nearly 2,5% in euro, returning to or even exceeding the highs reached by the stock market indices at the end of March.

When appetite is strong, everything is strong.

As March drew to a close in the first quarter of the year, investors continued to benefit from a very favourable environment.

A rigorous approach in the US

January was a positive month for equity markets, whose upward trajectory continued in line with the last quarter of 2023. Global equities returned nearly 3% in euros, driven by the US markets (+3.5% in euros), which are still surfing the artificial intelligence wave. In Europe, the performance was positive, but remained more modest than that of the US, at 1.6%. Meanwhile, emerging markets are still struggling as they continue to bear the brunt of a Chinese economy in the midst of a real estate crisis.

Celebrating the records reached

The financial markets remained buoyant in February, with the strong performance of equities in particular continuing to set the tone. The global equity index rose by 4,7% in euros, posting a performance of more than 7% in 2024, thus enabling it to continue its momentum.

A Happy Ending to 2023

The financial markets ended 2023 on a very positive note: very favourable economic data pointed to a resilient economy, inflation stabilised and the US central bank (Fed) opened the door to rate cuts in 2024. In short, the markets are almost fully buying into the renowned soft landing scenario.
