Our Market Analysis : 16/09/2017

European markets were out of their trading range this week and ended up sharply up (SXXR: + 1.4%), as did the S&P500 (+ 1.6%).

This bullish break out, which had been anticipated by the DAX the previous week, was mainly driven by the cyclical sectors (Automotive in the first place, which benefited from the announcements of the Frankfurt show) and the financials, while rates were back on the rise this week.

One entry and one exit in our Megatrend Euro Portfolio – 11/09/17

We integrate the ETF lyxor TNO (Technology Europe) into our Megatrend Portfolio. The mid-term growth potential looks huge (AI, digitalization…).

We exit the ETF BNK (Banks Europe) due to the relapse of interest rates that penalize the margins of banks, a trend which should continue for a while.
