Barclays Wealth, 03 April 2009
After an exceptionally cold year for investors there are, at last, the ‘first signs of a thaw’. In this new environment, we are launching a new, revised suite of investment publications. From now on, our well-established Signpost focuses on macroeconomic analysis and commentary, and is published quarterly. A new monthly publication – Compass – will explain our investment strategy and recommendations, starting 22 April.
Barclays Wealth, 20 January 2009
We have just updated the Annual Outlook edition of Signpost with our latest views and forecasts.
Since we last wrote in early December, broad macroeconomic developments have been very much along the lines we expected. However, activity data were generally worse than expected, rather than better. Consequently, we have cut most of our fourth-quarter growth forecasts a little. We still expect all the major developed economies to contract next year, with Japan and the UK hardest hit.
