Dear investor,
As we had been saying, the news in the health order was not good. This has translated into sharp drops in the stock market this week. The new home confinement decreed in France has been the turning point that has led to an abrupt fall in the stock markets. Without going as far as France, we are seeing a general increase in mobility restrictions across Europe. This has led to a general decline in the euro during the week. In this sense, the important thing now is to see the response of governments and central banks. If they commit sufficient resources to help individuals and businesses, then this correction will not last long. But we are seeing many differences in the measures taken by each country, which adds uncertainty. Also, it is very important that central banks maintain their purchases of government bonds. Any doubt in this regard would lead to a lack of confidence in the ability of some countries to repay their debt. We are entering a complicated situation that will calm down when there is an effective vaccine.
In this environment our portfolios have risen consistently every day this week. We ended September back in positive territory, with significant gains and a decoupled return on traditional assets. With the increased volatility of this last week, the number of profitable closed operations has also increased. Except for the dollar and Swiss franc, where we have slightly reduced exposure, other currencies are rotating a lot in the portfolio, contributing a lot to the result. As we have been saying, our model is well prepared to take advantage of the uncertain environment caused by the Covid-19.
We hope you are all well at home and we reiterate that we are at your disposal for anything you may need.
Greetings.
