Cash Market monthly report: increased trading volumes, record in gold holdings

June 1, 2018--While the trading volume on Deutsche Börse's cash markets in May with €145.8 billion was about ten percent higher than in May 2017, the gold holdings of Deutsche Börse broke through the 180-tonne mark for the first time. It currently stands at 181.8 tonnes compared to 174.2 tonnes at the start of the year.

The amount of gold held always increases when investors purchase Xetra-Gold (ISIN: DE000A0S9GB0) via the stock exchange. For each certificate exactly one gram of physical gold is deposited in the German Central Vault for Securities in Frankfurt. At the end of May, the gold price in euros reached its highest level since the start of the year and exceeded for a short time the mark of €36.00 per gram. "The uncertainty on the financial markets has considerably increased again," said Steffen Orben, managing director at Deutsche Börse Commodities GmbH, issuer of Xetra-Gold. "Demand for Xetra-Gold is directly connected to the political uncertainty in Italy and its possible consequences for the EU." Of the total trading volume of €145.8 billion on the cash markets in May, €134.1 billion was attributable to Xetra, €3.3 billion to Börse Frankfurt and €8.3 billion to Tradegate Exchange.

'David' takes aim at 'Goliath' Invesco in row over fund fees

June 1, 2018--Falling out between trust and manager is 'line in sand', say analysts.
A row between a small investment trust and Invesco, the giant asset manager, has "drawn a line in the sand" over high fund charges, say analysts.

Invesco Perpetual Enhanced Income, an investment trust with a £122m market cap, defied £108bn Invesco when it argued last month that the fees it paid were too high. In an unorthodox move, Invesco resigned as manager of the trust. It subsequently called for IPE chairman Donald Adamson and non-executive director Richard Williams to be replaced. Both men were central to challenging Invesco's fees.

S&P Dow Jones Indices-Europe Dashboard

May 31, 2018--Summary
It was a month of two halves for the S&P Europe 350. It started May on the front foot courtesy of a more co-operative tone between the U.S. and China, and indications that Italy would finally have a government.

But a re-emergence of trade tensions, and a substantial increase in Italian and Spanish political risk, later weighed on the European equity benchmark. Overall, it managed to eke out a 0.25% monthly gain.

As uncertainty rose, quality-oriented S&P Europe 350 equity strategies came to the fore this month; Dividend Aristocrats and Quality led the way. Enhanced Value brought up the rear as it fell 3.48%.

Turkey Economic Monitor: Minding the External Gap

May 31, 2018--Taking Stock
A strong policy response-on the back of fiscal buffers, a strong financial system, and favorable external conditions-enabled Turkey to recover from its shock of 2016, with growth accelerating to 7.4 percent in 2017.

Countercyclical fiscal policy and private sector credit boosted demand, and helped overcome labor market and financial sector rigidities to accelerate production. Short-term fiscal and credit measures helped avert a bigger collapse in demand and production after the economy contracted in Q3 2016. They also contributed to progress on poverty reduction.

The balance of risks in the Turkish economy since Q3-Q4 2017 has shifted from growth to stability.
