In this week’s CIO Weekly Investment Outlook podcast, the Private Bank’s Chief Investment Strategist and CIO for EMEA, Dirk Steffen, considers a mixed bag of economic data out of China and what it could mean for the country's equities – which have only recently returned to bull-market territory. Looking to the U.S., Dirk reflects on the latest inflation figures and sees a bright spot "that's actually giving the Fed some flexibility" on coming policy decisions. Corporate earnings however will remain the main driver for stocks, he says, and a solid second quarter in Europe offers potential for further positive momentum in the region.
The U.S. central bank will again be in the spotlight in the week ahead when the Federal Reserve releases the minutes from its recent meeting, though investors will have a wealth of economic data to consider as well.

In Europe, Middle East and Africa as well as in Asia Pacific this material is considered marketing material, but this is not the case in the U.S. No assurance can be given that any forecast or target can be achieved. Forecasts are based on assumptions, estimates, opinions and hypothetical models which may prove to be incorrect. Past performance is not indicative of future returns. Performance refers to a nominal value based on price gains/losses and does not take into account inflation. Inflation will have a negative impact on the purchasing power of this nominal monetary value. Depending on the current level of inflation, this may lead to a real loss in value, even if the nominal performance of the investment is positive. Investments come with risk. The value of an investment can fall as well as rise and you might not get back the amount originally invested at any point in time. Your capital may be at risk.
