September brought back optimism to global stock markets triggered both by good economic data reports and by desire of the investors to buy stocks that became cheaper in price. From mid-May to end of August, stocks of European companies dropped on average by more than 7%. It is therefore no surprise that prices got more attractive for the market players, and along with the change of moods followed the buy-up of European stocks.

In July, global bond market was demonstrating multidirectional movements. One of the key topics determining performance of any market was the forgotten issue of exchange rates. ECB Head Mario Draghi’s announcement at the end of June, where he in some way shocked investors with his positive comments on economic situation in Eurozone and hinted that the end of QE programme is right around the corner, caused a rather sharp growth of EUR against USD.

The traditional saying “Sell in May and go away” did not quite work this year, and May has become another positive month for global stock markets. Moreover, the usual nervousness and increased volatility often observed in May were missing too. On the contrary, VIX index, which reflects stock market volatility expectations, fell down to the lowest point since 1993. News background was rather empty creating an impression of that the market was moving habitually slowly entering consolidation stage.

In April, given the absence of any news or events capable of affecting the moods of the investors, the global stock market entered the stage of consolidation after a rather strong growth in Q1 of this year. Corporate earnings reports mostly met investor expectations; macroeconomic data had no surprises as well, so the attention of the market participants was focused on the political background in Europe.
