Risk Management Advice: After strong gains in the previous session for the US Equity Markets our Risk measures are showing mixed signals with clear retreat on the Risk taking sentiment and Market participants risk assessment for the session. In the US equity markets as well as the ending European equity markets session, there are indications of Risk aversion and so we look for moderate risks to increases in Volatility. This is of course our assessment for the very short term. As we have recommended before as the session advance and more information is gained and assessed we advice in the update of this or any risk management and measurement assessment. We take the risk of noticing that in this session and for the very short term, capital allocation in risk free securities could yield the best results. In addition a portfolio aiming for downside protection for risk assets and capturing Volatility increase could also be considered best choices.
Again we continue assessing incoming data and news and advice on intelligent portfolio allocation or product choice.
That is all that we can say.
