Some great reports from the JP team here below. The equity report needs some thoughtful comments. The FX is inconclusive as yet, imo. Participants are collecting again around the themes of a weaker euro and gbp vs the US$ . Here some FX reports to start proceedings.

Good report here from CS Wealth. No surprise to hear some participants calling the bottom in 2009 the start of a new secular bull market for equities!

Another great report from the Swiss Wealth Management team re affirming many of the allocations and trades of our own in recent weeks. Equities stretched aside from large caps with significant EM exposures. Good call i believe although i think the over valuation can extend here further.(More tech tomorrow on this near term issue). WTI...

Interesting comment and views from CS wealth management. Their tech team picking up something noted and allocated against a week or so on the forum pages ie the “Stoxx Europe 600 Banks Index with strong technical momentum” contrary to UBS expectation. Long high yield junk, which was another theme from the forum allocations a week...

As a general comment, the main US equity market indexes appear to be in a giant distribution since May. Higher highs have been achieved but at the cost of weaker and weaker technicals. Its not a hugely positive market in spite of higher prices being achieved. Europe has more momentum and price support for the...

We have labor day holidays across US markets today which marks the official ending of the usual summer malaise in market volume. Sept is seasonally a volatile month and more often than not to the downside. Having said that August was a bad month for bond prices as rates marched higher across sovereign and consumer...

I would encourage all readers of the “latest news” pages on Capitalsynthesis.com (around 500 unique visitors daily) to regularly check and preferably contribute to the forum pages. The content on the forum pages is far greater and the analysis deeper. Here below I re-post a couple of the recent forum comments. From Saturday 13th July:...

The latest report from the Swiss team is about as bearish a report as I have read for some time. The final top call for the last remaining bull equity market is in place, according to the team ie the SP500 top is in place. The Asian markets are in melt down. European markets topped...
