Stock rally sputters in Q3 as hopes for early rate relief evaporate
Download the latest reports
Global stocks ended Q3 in retreat, trimming year-to-date advances, as central banks (led by the Fed) vowed to maintain their fight against inflation, dampening hopes for a policy pivot any time soon and eroding ‘soft landing’ optimism. Energy and financials were among a few industries to make a positive contribution, while defensives and growth-tilted sectors suffered the biggest declines.
Key highlights:
- Global Asset Classes – ‘Soft landing’ optimism fades
- Global Equities – UK and Japan fare best; US small caps suffer major sell-off
- Industry returns – Energy stocks ride the oil-price boom
- Alternative Indices – Broad underperformance
- Factor performance – Value takes the prize
- Foreign Exchange – US dollar regains footing
