“US consumer and capital expenditures are solid. Growing profits suggest employment growth to offset lower fiscal stimulus. US interest rates will rise but earnings growth is unlikely to be threatened until after the election. Our negative view of the dollar is no longer appropriate and we increased US equities with Findlay Park Smaller Companies. We also added to Gartmore Continental Europe.”
