Key Takeaways

  • More stability in France as a roll back on pension reforms led to the Socialist Party backing the government in a confidence vote.
  • There is more work to be done but concessions could be enough to get next year’s budget through the parliamentary process.
  • The Japan Innovation Party has committed to joining the coalition government – a move that should see Sanae Takaichi secure the Prime Minister role.
  • A return to reform policies enacted by Shinzo Abe should prove positive for Japanese equities.
  • Trade negotiations between the US and China are continuing ahead of President Xi and President Trump’s scheduled meeting next week. We expect pragmatism to prevail.
  • We are in the middle of earnings season and will be watching releases from US regional banks closely as concerns around loan loss provisions grow.
