    In this podcast, Edmund Shing unveils his strategy for November 2025.Liquidity-fuelled stock bull market trend intact: as the current bull market enters year four, positive macro liquidity trends and lower interest rates support further upside despite a recent spike in volatility. Positive on stocks, we prefer exposure to Japan and UK.US interest rate expectations fall on weaker labour markets and lower energy prices: with a limited pass-through of US tariffs to the final consumer to date and clearly weaker labour market conditions, the Federal Reserve will continue to lower rates. Stock markets are supported by a lower 10-year Treasury bond yield, now at 4%.Precious metals enter a corrective phase: after an impressive performance over the last year, gold and silver prices have corrected from all-time highs. Albeit perfectly normal in precious metal bull markets, we nevertheless turn tactically Neutral on gold and silver and await better re-entry points in the near future. Keep an eye on private credit market concerns: while current credit issues are centred on two US auto part suppliers and certain US regional banks, we watch for financial stress spreading more widely e.g. to the high yield credit market. So far, transmission of these US private credit issues elsewhere remains limited. Our preferred investment ideas today: in stocks, we favour European listed infrastructure (including Utilities), global Health Care and Chinese A-shares. In higher-yielding bonds, we like emerging market sovereign bonds (local currency). In Alternatives, look to adding strategic base metals exposure e.g. copper and aluminium.Hosted by Ausha.

    Dans ce podcast, Edmund Shing dévoile sa startégie d'investissement pour le mois de novembre 2025.Marchés actions : la tendance haussière dopée par la liquidité se poursuit. Alors que le marché haussier entame sa quatrième année, les conditions de liquidité favorables et la baisse des taux d'intérêt continuent de soutenir les actions, malgré un regain de volatilité. Nous sommes Positifs sur les actions et nous privilégions une exposition aux marchés japonais et britannique.Les anticipations de taux d'intérêt aux États-Unis reculent en raison de l'affaiblissement du marché du travail et de la baisse des prix de l'énergie. Compte tenu des conditions clairement plus faibles sur l'emploi et de la répercussion limitée des droits de douane sur le consommateur, la Fed peut continuer sa stratégie accommodante. Le rendement des Treasuries à 10 ans est passé sous les 4 %, offrant un soutien supplémentaire aux actions.Les métaux précieux entrent dans une phase de correction. Après une année exceptionnelle, l'or et l'argent corrigent depuis leurs plus hauts. Ce mouvement, classique dans un marché haussier, nous conduit à adopter une opinion tactique Neutre et à attendre de meilleurs points d'entrée à court terme.Préoccupations autour du crédit privé : les tensions actuelles se concentrent sur deux équipementiers automobiles et certaines banques régionales américaines. Pour l'heure, la contagion vers le marché du High Yield reste limitée, mais le risque mérite une surveillance attentive.Nos convictions d'investissement : pour les actions, nous privilégions les infrastructures cotées en Europe (y compris les services publics), le secteur mondial de la santé ainsi que les actions A chinoises. Pour les obligations à rendement élevé, nous apprécions les obligations souveraines des marchés émergents libellées en devise locale. Pour les investissements alternatifs, nous recommandons d'ajouter une exposition stratégique aux métaux de base, tels que le cuivre et l'aluminium.Hosted by Ausha.

    In this podcast, Edmund Shing (Global Chief Investment Officer) and Hiba Mouallem (Investment Strategist) talk about how investors can diversify away from US tech stocks. Investors would be mistaken in thinking that the Magnificent 7 have been “the only game in town” as far as US stock investing goes. We highlight three US stock themes which have outperformed the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 indices over 2025, but which are not dominated by the tech sector. These themes are: i) The US industrial renaissance, ii) US smart grid infrastructure, and iii) the US metals & mining sector.The reindustrialisation of the US economy is a key political objective of President Trump, reinforced by his import tariff policy and aided by a weaker US dollar and lower US interest rates. The RBA US industrial renaissance index tracking this theme has returned 31% in the year to end-October. The substantial growth in US electricity demand from new data centres has led the Nasdaq Clean Edge Smart Grid Infrastructure index to deliver a 35% 10-month return. Finally, renewed interest in precious and strategic metals has propelled the S&P Metals & Mining index to a 74% gain in 2025.Hosted by Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.

    In this podcast, Edmund Shing, Global Chief Investment Officer, explores the renewed momentum behind solar energy in 2025, following a multi-year decline in ESG and clean energy investments.The S&P Global Clean Energy index enjoyed a 300% rally between January 2019 and January 2021 on the back of euphoria surrounding renewable energy investment. However, renewable energy funds then suffered a painful bear market from 2021 until early 2025, impacted by the sharp increase in the cost of debt funding and then a US shift away from clean energy with the November 2024 re-election of Donald Trump.Since April, we have seen a recovery take place in renewable energies and particularly in solar power, with the S&P Global Clean Energy Index rising 50%. Lower interest rates combined with strong growth in electricity demand from AI-dedicated data centres and from electrical vehicles have led to a resurgence in demand for low-cost sources of energy. Today, solar energy represents a key source of low-carbon electricity in the EU. Thematic ETFs and funds are an effective way to invest in renewable energy generally, or in solar energy specifically.Hosted by Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.

L'indice S&P Equal Weight Commodities a progressé de 14 % cette année, tandis que les métaux précieux comme l'or, l'argent et le platine ont enregistré des gains compris entre 39 % et 58 %. ·       La diversification est devenue plus difficile, car les actions et les obligations présentent désormais une forte corrélation positive. Cela réduit l'efficacité des obligations comme couverture, faisant des matières premières une alternative précieuse. ·       Les matières premières offrent une diversification naturelle, réparties en quatre catégories — métaux précieux, énergie, métaux industriels et matières premières agricoles — chacune réagissant différemment aux cycles économiques et aux tensions géopolitiques. ·       Il existe des moyens intelligents d'intégrer les matières premières dans un portefeuille, comme l'utilisation d'indices tels que le BNP Paribas Energy and Metals Enhanced Roll Index, des ETF diversifiés, ou des investissements ciblés dans des métaux spécifiques comme l'or, le cuivre et l'étain.Hosted by Ausha.

    In this podcast, Edmund Shing, Global Chief Investment Officer discusses the strategic importance of commodities in building a resilient and diversified investment portfolioDespite strong performance this year, the portfolio allocation for  commodities remains very small compared to other asset classes.It has been always advised “not to put all your eggs in the same basket”, promoting diversification in the portfolios. However, in the last few years diversification was harder to achieve. Indeed, one would invest in bonds as a cushion facing the stocks allocation held in the portfolio but lately, we have globally seen a positive correlation between those two assets classes (except in China) in opposition with commodities which represent an asset class itself very diversified by nature as it gathers precious metals, energy, industrial metals...ETFs and Funds can provide exposure to this asset class either through a single commodity or a basket of commodities.Hosted by Ausha.

    Le lithium contre-attaque

    Dans ce podcast, Jeremy Fasquelle et Hiba Mouallem, Investment Strategist, analyse pourquoi le lithium est un métal crucial aujourd'hui, ainsi que comment et pourquoi y investir. Alors que le monde amorce sa transition vers une économie bas carbone, la demande en lithium s'envole. Ce métal stratégique est en effet un composant essentiel des batteries des véhicules électriques et des systèmes de stockage d'énergie issus du solaire et de l'éolien. Mais l'approvisionnement en lithium reste complexe. Son extraction, techniquement exigeante, est concentrée dans quelques zones géographiques clés : l'Amérique du Sud, l'Asie et l'Australie. Cette concentration expose la chaîne d'approvisionnement à des risques géopolitiques croissants. Côté marché, le prix du lithium a connu une forte volatilité et se situe actuellement à des niveaux historiquement bas. Cette chute a conduit à la fermeture temporaire de plusieurs mines, réduisant l'offre disponible. Toutefois, les fondamentaux de la demande restent solides : batteries de smartphones à plus grande capacité, besoins accrus en stockage d'énergie renouvelable, et montée en puissance des véhicules hybrides et électriques. Ces dynamiques devraient soutenir une reprise progressive des prix du lithium.Hosted by Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.

The potential repatriation of capital from the US to Europe and Asia remains a powerful force.Upgrade European equities to Positive: eurozone economic momentum has improved, we begin to see lower uncertainty over US tariffs, and we expect economic benefits from the German infrastructure & defence spending plans. European and German mid-caps should benefit from stronger domestic economic momentum.Residential property rallies: lower ECB benchmark rates boost mortgage demand, while rental demand remains robust in key European cities.

Nous recommandons les obligations d'État et d'entreprise avec des maturités égales ou inférieures au benchmark, et des achats en cas de repli.Pression persistante sur le dollar américain : malgré une appréciation de 13 % de l'euro face au billet vert cette année, nous anticipons une nouvelle dépréciation à long terme face aux principales devises et à l'or. Les rapatriements potentiels de capitaux des États-Unis vers l'Europe et l'Asie restent un levier majeur.Opinion de nouveau positive sur les actions européennes : la dynamique économique de la zone euro s'améliore, l'incertitude liée aux droits de douane américains diminue, et les plans allemands en matière d'infrastructures et de défense devraient générer des retombées économiques. Les mid-caps européennes, notamment allemandes, devraient bénéficier de cette dynamique intérieure.L'immobilier résidentiel progresse : la baisse des taux directeurs de la BCE stimule la demande de crédits immobiliers, tandis que le marché du locatif reste dynamique dans les grandes métropoles européennes.

    In this podcast, Edmund Shing, Global Chief Investment Officer, discusses the potential disconnect between the stock market rebound and the risk of US economic growth slowing down. Stock market rebound and economic reality: Despite a strong 20% rebound in US equities following tariff-related declines, survey data (consumer and business confidence) suggests a sharp slowdown in US economic growth may be ahead—highlighting a disconnect between markets and fundamentals.Mixed economic signals: While sentiment indicators are weak, hard data like retail sales and the Atlanta Fed's GDPNow indicator still point to solid growth (~2.5% in Q2). However, the delayed impact of higher tariffs could weigh on consumption from June onward.Energy prices as a buffer: Falling energy costs (e.g., US gasoline down 16% YoY) are helping to contain inflation and support growth in both the US and Europe, offsetting some inflationary pressure from tariffs.Infrastructure as a standout asset class: Listed infrastructure funds and ETFs are outperforming equities year-to-date, especially in Europe (+21% in EUR). Sub-sectors like electricity networks, clean water, and clean energy are benefiting from policy support and renewed investor interest.Hosted by Ausha.

    In this podcast, Edmund Shing, Global Chief Investment Officer, discusses the challenges of predicting recessions, the significance of the VIX volatility index, and investment recommendations for navigating uncertain economic times.Difficulty in predicting recessions - Economists historically struggle with forecasting the timing of recessions due to the complexity of business cycles.Stock market as a recession Indicator - The stock market is highlighted as a potential predictor of recessions, typically looking 6 to 12 months ahead. However, it also produces many false signals through market corrections that do not necessarily indicate a recessionVIX Volatility Index - Historically, when the VIX exceeds 50 and then declines to under 30, it has been followed by positive stock market returns. This pattern has occurred in 1988, 2002, 2009, and 2020,with an average S&P 500 return of 18% over the following 12 monthsInvestment Recommendations: instead of focusing on the Nasdaq 100 or the classic capitalization-weighted S&P 500 index, investors should consider an equal-weight US stock market index to reduce bias towards tech stocks, as well as UK, Japanese and Chinese stocks. Hosted by Ausha.

    Dans ce podcast, Edmund Shing, Global Chief Investment Officer, dévoile sa stratégie d'investissement pour avril 2025 : Hausse massive des droits de douane américains : il s'agit de l'une des plus importantes augmentations de droits de douane dans l'histoire des États-Unis. Leur taux effectif passera probablement d'environ 2,5 % avant Trump 2.0 à 22 %. Il s'agit du niveau le plus élevé depuis 1910. Les droits de douane annoncés sont nettement plus élevés que ce que nous ou le marché avions anticipé.Risque accru d'un scénario de stagflation pour l'économie américaine. La saison des résultats du premier trimestre ainsi que les enquêtes auprès des entreprises et des consommateurs seront importantes à surveiller en raison des risques pour l'emploi et les investissements. Cela suggère une approche plus prudente de l'allocation d'actifs dans les mois à venir.L'incertitude élevée soutient la demande de bons du Trésor américain : la tendance à la baisse des rendements aux États-Unis devrait se poursuivre. Les investisseurs chercheront à se réfugier dans des actifs sûrs. Nous sommes tactiquement positifs sur les bons du Trésor américain et avons révisé notre objectif à trois mois pour le rendement à 10 ans à 4 %.Il convient d'être plus prudent sur les actions :  l'annonce tarifaire du 2 avril a des répercussions clairement négatives sur la croissance mondiale et pourrait même entraîner un risque de stagflation pour l'économie américaine Nous ramenons notre opinion sur les actions de "Surpondérer" à "Neutre".Pression sur les bénéfices des entreprises américaines : les effets des annonces tarifaires devraient avoir des impacts négatifs sur la consommation tout en augmentant les coûts des intrants des entreprises, ce qui mettra sous pression les marges bénéficiaires. Nous ramenons notre opinion sur le marché d'actions américaines de “Neutre" à “Sous-pondéré".Hosted by Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.

    Edmund Shing, Global Chief Investment Officer of BNP Paribas Wealth Management unveils his convictions for April 2025: Massive US tariff hike: this represents one of the biggest tariff increases in the history of the US. It will probably take the effective tariff rate from around 2.5% pre-Trump 2.0 to 22% currently. This is highest level since 1910. The announced tariffs are significantly larger than either we or the market had anticipated.Greater risk of a stagflation scenario for the US economy. The upcoming Q1 earnings season as well as business and consumer surveys will be important to monitor in view of the risks for employment and investments. This suggest a more cautious approach to asset allocation in the coming months.Elevated uncertainty supports US Treasury bond demand: the trend towards lower yields in the US is likely to persist. Investors will seek refuge in safe-haven assets. We are tactically turning Positive on US Treasuries and have revised our 3-month target for the US 10-year yield to 4%.More caution on stocks warranted: the result of yesterday's tariff announcement is clearly negative for growth on a global basis and even  carries the risk of stagflation for the US economy. We downgrade our Equities view from Overweight to Neutral.Pressure on US corporate earnings: the effects from the tariff announcements should have negative impacts on consumption while driving up companies' input costs, pressuring profit margins. We downgrade our view on the US equity market from Neutral to Underweight.Hosted by Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.

    In this podcast, Edmund Shing, Global Chief Investment Officer, discusses the risks to the American stock market from shifting foreign investor flows.Foreign investors have significantly increased their holdings in US financial assets, totaling 10 trillion dollars between 2020 and 2024, with European investors holding 49% of these assets.The S&P 500 is currently expensive at 20x forward PE compared with its long-term average of 16x, while the eurozone and Japan markets are fairly valued or cheap.There is a “double whammy” risk for US equities as foreign investors may reduce exposure due to under-performance, high valuations and a weakening US dollar, potentially leading to further derating and currency losses.We prefer US stock exposure via the S&P 500 equal-weighted index, along with rebalancing towards international stocks in the UK, eurozone, Japan, and possibly China.Hosted by Ausha.
