Brexit, trade wars and geopolitical tensions set to cause muted H2 say market strategists from Natixis Investment Managers and affiliated managers
- Results from the first Natixis Investment Managers Midyear Strategist Survey suggest that outcomes for 2019 will be more muted as markets grapple with a number of downside scenarios and little in the way of upside surprises
- A messy Brexit outcome is the most likely downside risk, while a rebound in growth driven by new central bank policy ranks as the most likely upside
- More bullish outlook for US Sovereign bonds, emerging market equities, global REITs and emerging market bonds due to accommodative central bank policy
- More bearish outlook for cryptocurrencies, UK stocks, US high yield and bank loans
