Protectionism intensifies: country and sector selection to mitigate its effects weblink
As a base case, we expect limited tariffs will be implemented on different fronts with relatively controlled macro impacts while talks continue. Although talks have become more contentious, we do still see space for negotiation among the various parties. This is the main difference vs a proper “trade war”.

Global Investment Views: October 2018 weblink
The hot summer in emerging markets has been a key investor theme in the third quarter of this year.

From G20: Short-Term Relief, But It Is Not The Final Word On Trade Disputes weblink
The latest G20 demonstrates some temporary progress in the US/China relationship. An increase of tariff rates in January 2019 was put on hold and the possibility for an additional tranche of tariffs for the rest of US imports from China ($267bn) is also further delayed, at least.

European elections: not a game changer, opportunities from divergences download
The results are broadly in line with what opinion polls had indicated, although with a slight “pro-institution” surprise. Key takeaways are, first, a decline in the votes for the two large political groups which are the social-democrats and the Christian-democrats or moderate right; these two parties had, since 1979, commanded a combined majority in the European Parliament, and this is now over.
