Monthly global house view & investment perspectives
After a strong June, markets enjoyed another positive month in July with the MSCI World index rising around 2% over the month. Global equities have now returned more than 16% year-to-date and are close to recouping the losses experienced in 2022. Fixed income markets also mostly registered positive returns in July. The Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate index was up about 1% for the month, though the year-to-date returns are significantly more muted than equities at just over 2%.
