Risk Management Advice: The Risk assessment for the session at the time of this writing is again mixed with mild to moderate downside risks. During previous day sessions and weeks we have noticed regarding the short term and mid term Market expectation and behavior and have also noticed on global risks to major economies as well as the lack of strong growth indications from emerging markets economies; this in a context of some good news exposed from the US and Euro Area economies. In spite of that the risk to the downside on growth has remained with some renewed fears of deteriorating conditions. Risk aversion has predominated in the recent markets participant behaviors. As we have been noticing this assessment holds for the very short term, and precisely today there could be important releases from the FOMC minutes that will send a clearer signal on the interest rates policies and the expectations and claims behind such decisions as well as other economic metrics. We also notice that the Crude Oil Market activity could turn very interesting with the recovery showed in recent weeks. We take the risk of anticipating a session, and for the very short term, that despite the Equities and risk assets being under influence of the risk aversion sentiment of recent sessions; the opening activity looks one in which Risk taking could be rewarding. In the presence of uncertainty there signals of some exposure to risk by markets participants. We remark that the tone on the FED release could prove to be a game changing factor in markets themes despite many have been anticipating the future path of the interest rates policies and so these views could have been playing a major factor in recent markets activity which will be contrasted with the official FOMC minutes release. For the session we take on the risk of anticipating that, in terms of the management of risk, the construction of a portfolio with intelligent allocation to Risky assets for smart beta exposure and growth could yield positive results for the very short term. A volatile session cannot be ruled again in line with the news release developments throughout the session, some of which we have noticed above. Again we continue assessing incoming data, news and advice on intelligent portfolio allocation or product choice.
That is all that we can say.
