Market Roundup: Macroeconomic Overview and Q4 Outlook

As we approach the final quarter of 2024, the global macroeconomic landscape presents a mixture of both challenges and opportunities. Inflation remains a key concern for central banks, with core inflation rates still above target in many regions, prompting continued vigilance on monetary policy. Despite several rounds of interest rate hikes, inflation has proven more persistent than initially forecast, primarily driven by higher energy costs and supply chain constraints that continue to ripple across industries.

In the U.S., the Federal Reserve is walking a fine line between curbing inflation and avoiding an economic downturn. While the labour market remains strong, signs of cooling demand in sectors like housing and manufacturing suggest that growth could slow further in the coming months. The Fed’s policy decisions will likely remain data-dependent, with any future cuts hinging on inflation trends and employment data as we enter the new year.

Globally, economic growth continues to face headwinds. Europe, grappling with both inflation and an energy crisis, has seen sluggish recovery, while China’s rebound has been slower than expected, with demand weakness in exports and housing creating further uncertainty. This global environment of slowing growth and elevated inflation—commonly referred to as "stagflation"—requires investors to remain cautious and adaptive as we navigate the last quarter of 2024.

Looking ahead, we anticipate continued volatility in financial markets as economic uncertainty remains a dominant theme. However, Oakleigh Trading’s focus on innovative strategies and data-driven approaches positions us well to capitalise on opportunities in these turbulent times. Our research team remains committed to identifying emerging market trends and adjusting our strategies to provide resilience and growth.

Thank you for your continued trust in Oakleigh Trading. We look forward to navigating the remainder of the year with your partnership and delivering value through our disciplined and forward-thinking approach.

Sincerely,
The Oakleigh Trading Team
