- ECB is caught between a rock and a hard place with the Euro.
- Strong Euro could derail the European Stock Market recovery. Bad for banks and inflation linked assets.
- Reflation Trade is over. Inflation expectations falling in US and Europe
- Market was too worried about the debt ceiling.
- Expect less rate hikes from the Fed. Financial conditions easing. Buy US stocks
- Oil below $50 in the middle of North Korea tensions and Hurricane Season means it will drift lower when things normalise
- Tensions with North Korea will likely hurt global trade
