Global Investment Views - July 2017
PLAY GLOBAL UPTURN, BUT STAY ALERT
Global economic activity has continued to expand worldwide (or even accelerate) in H1 2017 driven, in most countries, by domestic demand. Business investment has strengthened in several areas (US, Eurozone, Japan) and global trade has improved since the start of the year, thanks to a re-synchronization of the global cycle. With this backdrop, our outlook for the Eurozone has further improved in June, with growth expectations up from 1.6% to 1.8%. Emerging economies are also favoured by the strong global cycle, US dollar weakness and Fed’s prudent normalization policy.
