  • Quarterly Financial Markets Report
    Quarterly Financial Markets Report Second Quarter 2016 Global Economic Highlights Highlighted by UK’s vote to leave the EU, weak demand, high unemployment levels, financial frailties and geopolitical risks, the global economic environment continued to be plagued by weakened growth prospects in the last three months. The late June U.K. referendum to leave the European Union sent shock waves across the globe, leaving global financial markets in turmoil. The equity markets fell sharply and the British Pound plunged 8.4% and 12.5% against the U.S. Dollar and Japanese Yen, respectively. The value of the British Pound against the US Dollar was at its lowest in the past 31 years. Reassurance on support from the central bank saw the economy enjoying some reprieve as the financial markets rebounded partially in fragments. With manufacturing growth stalling over the past year and construction figures weakening markedly in June, U.K. growth continued to be driven primarily by the services sector. The rate of Consumer Price Inflation (CPI) remained low at around 0.3% partly due to relatively subdued global demand growth. Both Standard & Poor’s, and Fitch on the back of the foregoing downgraded U.K’s credit ratings. With a lift from the European Central Bank’s stimulus cut, low energy prices and a rebound in consumer spending, figures from the 19-nation bloc were impressive before the Brexit, with GDP rising by 0.6% in Q1 2016 despite a backdrop of the global market turmoil at the start of the year. However, questions about the EU’s stability and the potential for an economic downturn after Britain’s surprise exit from the EU dominated the centre stage in the Eurozone at the end of the second quarter.
