Overview

Non-US equities played catch up. Modest yield moves underpinned muted fixed income gains. The Fed paused rate cuts, and the US dollar moderated.

Key highlights:

  • Global Asset Classes – Diverging economic outlooks and central bank policy moves are key drivers
  • Global Equities – European equities on top
  • Industry returns – Financials continue to lead
  • Alternative Indices – Broad underperformance, with few exception
  • Factor performance – Momentum outperforms
  • Foreign exchange – USD moderates

Please note the Europe edition combines the previously published Euro and GBP versions of Performance Insights.
