Dear copiers and follower, welcome back. ๐™„๐™ฃ๐™›๐™ก๐™–๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ค๐™ฃ, ๐™€๐™˜๐™ค๐™ฃ๐™ค๐™ข๐™ž๐™˜ ๐™‚๐™ง๐™ค๐™ฌ๐™ฉ๐™ ๐™–๐™ฃ๐™™ ๐™ˆ๐™–๐™ง๐™ ๐™š๐™ฉ๐™จ: ๐™๐™๐™š ๐™‡๐™–๐™ฉ๐™š-๐™Ž๐™ช๐™ข๐™ข๐™š๐™ง ๐™Š๐™ช๐™ฉ๐™ก๐™ค๐™ค๐™  ๐™„๐™ฃ๐™›๐™ก๐™–๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ค๐™ฃ ๐™ง๐™š๐™ข๐™–๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™จ ๐™จ๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™˜๐™ ๐™ฎ ๐™ž๐™ฃ ๐™ฉ๐™๐™š ๐™.๐™Ž. The latest data confirm that U.S. inflation remains above the Federal Reserveโ€™s target, while the economy continues to show resilience. In July, the โ€œcoreโ€ PCE index โ€“ the Fedโ€™s preferred gauge, excluding food and energy โ€“ rose to 2.9% year-on-year, the highest since February. On a monthly basis, the increase was 0.3%, in line with market expectations. Although these figures remain under control, inflation is still well above the Fedโ€™s 2% comfort zone. Nevertheless, investors are betting on an imminent rate cut: the September FOMC meeting will therefore be crucial. Recent comments from Christopher Waller and Jerome Powell have suggested that an easing move is likely, though its magnitude will depend on labor market developments, which are showing signs of weakening. ๐™Ž๐™ฉ๐™ง๐™ค๐™ฃ๐™œ๐™š๐™ง-๐™ฉ๐™๐™–๐™ฃ-๐™š๐™ญ๐™ฅ๐™š๐™˜๐™ฉ๐™š๐™™ ๐™.๐™Ž. ๐™œ๐™ง๐™ค๐™ฌ๐™ฉ๐™ On the macro front, U.S. Q2 GDP was revised upward to +3.3% annualized, compared with the initial +3.0% estimate. The momentum came from consumer spending, up 1.6%, and a sharp drop in imports linked to tariff effects. Overall, domestic demand remains solid, making the prospect of a soft landing more tangible. However, analysts expect growth to slow in the second half of the year, with a pace around 2%. ๐™‚๐™š๐™ค๐™ฅ๐™ค๐™ก๐™ž๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™˜๐™จ ๐™–๐™ฃ๐™™ ๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™ฉ๐™š๐™ง๐™ฃ๐™–๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ค๐™ฃ๐™–๐™ก ๐™ฉ๐™ง๐™–๐™™๐™š While Washington doubles down on tariffs, the global stage is being reshaped by new dynamics: the recent India-China summit marked an attempt at rapprochement between the two Asian giants, united by the desire to counter Western pressures and expand bilateral trade. Although border tensions remain a critical variable, both economies are seeking to reduce trade imbalances and strengthen multilateral cooperation. ๐™๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™–๐™ฃ๐™˜๐™ž๐™–๐™ก ๐™ข๐™–๐™ง๐™ ๐™š๐™ฉ๐™จ: ๐™—๐™š๐™ฉ๐™ฌ๐™š๐™š๐™ฃ ๐™ค๐™ฅ๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ข๐™ž๐™จ๐™ข ๐™–๐™ฃ๐™™ ๐™˜๐™–๐™ช๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ค๐™ฃ August proved positive for equities: the S&P 500 and Dow Jones hit fresh highs, while in Europe the Stoxx 600 extended its upward trend. However, September is shaping up to be tricky: historically, it is the weakest month for global markets. Many investors point to the โ€œpsychologicalโ€ effect of past autumn sell-offs and seasonal factors such as portfolio rebalancing and profit-taking. Some analysts said, the equity bull cycle is not over: solid earnings prospects, gradually declining interest rates and expectations of a soft landing should support markets over the next 12 months. Others, however, urge caution, warning that tariffs and Fed decisions could weigh on valuations. ๐˜พ๐™ง๐™ฎ๐™ฅ๐™ฉ๐™ค๐™˜๐™ช๐™ง๐™ง๐™š๐™ฃ๐™˜๐™ž๐™š๐™จ: ๐™– ๐™ซ๐™ค๐™ก๐™–๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ก๐™š ๐˜ผ๐™ช๐™œ๐™ช๐™จ๐™ฉ On the digital front, Bitcoin reached a new all-time high above $124,000 in mid-August, only to retrace to around $110,000 by month-end. Despite the correction (-7% MoM), the fundamental picture remains solid, supported by expectations of monetary easing. Ethereum regained momentum, rising 14% over the month and nearing the $5,000 mark again. Notable was Cronos (CRO), which surged over 100% in August following its partnership with Trump Media Group, though volatility was extreme in the final weeks of the month. Solana also advanced, but continues to struggle in breaking through key resistance levels. ๐™„๐™ฃ ๐™จ๐™ช๐™ข๐™ข๐™–๐™ง๐™ฎ The global economic and financial backdrop remains characterized by contrasts: on the one hand, resilient consumption and employment; on the other, persistent inflation and trade frictions complicating monetary policy decisions. September will bring decisive signals from the Federal Reserve and equity markets, while cryptocurrencies confirm both their volatility and their appeal to capital flows. All this could translate into higher volatility in September. Our recent short positions, together with exposure to the bond market, should help contain portfolio swings in the short term. At the same time, available liquidity will allow us to maintain a proactive stance toward medium- to long-term opportunities, in a context of likely rate cuts and gradual economic stabilization.
