uncertainty increased. In Europe, the epidemic spread in France, Spain and the UK, forcing authorities to enforce stricter social distancing measures. France and the UK opted for a gradual increase in targeted measures. The UK&#8217;s prime minister, Boris Johnson, even talked about a new lockdown. Measures in Madrid are now affecting more and more people. While the pace of the spread seems to have fallen back in little in recent days, these new restrictions will weigh on the economic recovery, especially against a backdrop of disinflation. In August, inflation was negative in 12 eurozone countries and the first indications for September showed the trend was gathering speed. Inevitably, obstructive behaviour from countries like Hungary and Poland in budgetary talks can only increase uncertainty as the introduction of the \u20ac1.8 trillion stimulus package might be delayed. At the same time, relations between the UK and the EU continued to worsen, increasing the risk of a no-deal.<\/p><p>The European Commission has launched legal proceedings against the UK for flouting the EU exit treaty signed in January this year.<\/p><p><strong>The US is faced with similar uncertainties.<\/strong><\/p><p>Democrats and Republicans have still failed to reach an agreement on a new stimulus plan. And yet time is running out: withdrawing current subsidies will hit consumption and business in the fourth quarter. And the divisive nature of the presidential election campaign is not helping matters. Joe Biden\u2019s lead in the polls remained intact after the first televised debate but Donald Trump\u2019s ambiguous comments mean it is unclear he would accept defeat graciously. The mood has also been complicated by the appointment to the Supreme Court of a conservative, Amy Coney Barrett to replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg. And to cap it all, Donald Trump tested positive for coronavirus and is now in quarantine.<\/p><p>Against this background, markets turned risk-off in the first three weeks of September. Risk asset performance was negative and safe haven assets like gold and government bonds failed to act as hedges. Growth rebound assets were particularly badly hit with some returning to March lows. Only the US dollar managed to rise. Market moves were reinforced by end-of-quarter rebalancing. Over the past week, indices rebounded but not very convincingly. In our view, this uncertain mood should mean more short term volatility on markets. Looking further out, however, market confidence should return as visibility improves after the US elections. Earnings growth momentum is still intact and central bank liquidity remains abundant. We are maintaining our neutral stance on equities with a preference for Europe and China. We are still neutral on corporate debt and positive on hard-currency emerging country debt.<\/p><p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>EUROPEAN EQUITIES<\/strong><\/p><p>Developments in the ongoing epidemic continued to dictate equity market moves. Trading turned choppy at the end of the period, mainly because of signs that a medical solution might be delayed. To make matters worse, investors had to contend with fresh Brexit tensions and mixed economic data in the US. Markets were then stunned to hear that Donald Trump had tested positive for Covid-19.<\/p><p>Sector trends were largely unchanged. Aerospace remained under pressure as commercial air traffic fell to a 3-month low. Revenues at Air France plunged 70% in August. At the other end of the scale, Morrisons, the UK\u2019s fourth largest supermarket, said it was hiring 1,000 people to meet e-commerce demand after its partnership with Amazon.
