This past month should be remembered by all of us as a classic example of no new news driving the daily news – well at least in the financial world anyway. If I look back over my past few talks and my scribblings for the last six months, it’s very clear to see that there are some fairly fundamental themes running along, all of which seem to take it in turns to grab a headline every so often.
So we have the Euro fears from a Greek potential exit, to the very future of the currency itself. Then alongside that the Euro zone economies, the worries about US interest rate rises and of course the ever running story of China’s economic slowdown. I am sure you can add several others quite easily from Ukraine to ISIS and the oil price. So what was fascinating about the sudden bout of market fears in August was that there was no new news! Everything that suddenly became an excuse for fear and panic was everything that we knew the month before.
