Fund Managers' Current Asset Allocation – September The Fat Pitch
Even after the sell-off over the past week, global equities are more than 15% higher than in February. A tailwind for this rally has been the bearish positioning of investors, with fund managers' cash in February at the highest level since 2001. Similarly, their equity allocations in February had only been lower in mid-2011 and mid-2012, periods which were notable lows for equity prices during this bull market.

Today’s UK retail sales and guidance from the Bank of England will hopefully provide near term resolution for GBP pairs after a choppy week of trading that continues to frustrate trend traders. Elsewhere a flurry of US data today includes retail sales numbers for August.

From the Floor TF
Equities markets may be stabilising and sterling could froth in and around today's bank of England meeting but really we already all in countdown mode towards the pivotal meetings on September 21.
