Overview

Oil rose in January on multiple supply shocks; gold and silver saw a correction. However, the growth and inflation picture remained supportive of risk assets.

Key highlights:

  • Global Equities – Asia Pacific equities hold sway on Hardware surge
  • Global Fixed Income – High yield (HY) retains edge over investment grade (IG)
  • Equity Industries – Energy, Tech and Basic Materials among leaders
  • Alternative Indices (USD) – Gold and Silver up despite month-end correction
  • Equity Factors – Momentum rebounds to outperform across regions
  • Foreign exchange – US dollar weakens broadly (again)
