Overall Situation
The Overall Situation
1
  still presents itself very mixed. We remain rather sceptical about the future outlook.
Monetary Policy
-3
  remains restrictive with quanititative tightening ongoing at regular pace. We think that markets are too optimistic in their forward rate cut expectations. At least in the near future we expect continuously mixed signals in terms of Inflation and Aggregate Demand. Which means, that rates could well go higher again, before we see some recessionary rate cuts.

Aggregate Demand
Latest GDP figures
2
  show remarkable strength, mostly driven by US Consumer
3
 , which is holding up still fine amid resilient Employment Situation
4
 .
The slowdown which we expect for 2024 is still not becoming reality so far. As a consequence the market's expected start of rate cuts has been delayed further into the middle of next year.
With earnings season for Q4 2023 is kicking in soon, investors will closely watch margins and guidance with equities' valuations on the upper end of historical averages. So far it is too early to say anything about the timing of the landing.

Corporate Earnings
Earnings for Q4 2024 have been rather moderate looking at approx 25% of the results. Margins seem to be under pressure but still ok.
In addition, there have been some first signs of cautious guidence which should not be overvalued yet.
We expect more valuable insights in the upcoming two weeks, when most of the magnificent six (yes, TSLA is out) will report their earnings.

Monetary Policy
The US Federal Reserve currently has reason to feel very confident about the progress on Inflation
4
 . Also - at least so far - the economic conditions
1
  remain very solid while showing no significant impact on the Employment Situation
4
 .
As a consequence this means, that Powell is in no rush to lower interest rates at a faster pace. It seems even likely to have no move at all on the next FOMC meeting. And there is also no change expected regarding the ongoing reduction of assets in the federal's balance sheet. Amid remaining strengths of the overall conditions we see further carefull movement of monetary policy towards rather balanced levels

Government Bonds
The long end of US Treasuries had some temporary peak couple of weeks ago amid economic slowdown and lower inflationary pressures.
Especially the latest CPI report triggered some upside momentum in bonds and equities.
We believe that - at this stage - Inflation numbers will not further improve and rising debt pressure keeps looming on the horizon.
On the other hand the economy remains resilient. So overall the big picture for Government Bonds
-2
  presents itself rather difficult to judge.

Geopolitical Situation
As of now the Israel vs Hamas
-2
  looks far more better than we have anticipated after the horrible Hamas' slaughter.
Israel's reaction was strong and decisive. But diplomatic activities - at least so far - prevented other major geopolitic forces from taking large scale part in the conflict.
We remain hopefull, that the situation can be further kept under control and in the long run peace will prevail.
Other geopolicital hotspots currently do not seem to worsen.
