• $2.3 trillion could flood into the stock market

  09-01-2017 21:17 via feedproxy.google.com
  
  A huge amount of investment dollars have flowed out of equities and into bonds over the past decade.
  But, according to a note published by Societe Generale's Cross Asset Research team on Monday, this "de-equitisation" trend has slowly been reversing, and "a significant portfolio rebalancing may be on the cards."
  That could lead to a flood of money, potentially amounting to $2.3 trillion, moving in to the stock market.

• The same thing happens on Wall Street every earnings season — except this time it could be different

  09-01-2017 20:38 via feedproxy.google.com
  
  Earnings surprises over the next few weeks may be tamer than usual. 
  As usual, analysts lowered their estimates for fourth-quarter earnings in the weeks leading up to announcements, which pick up pace this week.
  But this time, the drop was below average, setting Wall Street up for fewer surprises, according to Julian Emanuel, US equity and derivatives strategist at UBS. 
  "While we expect earnings to surprise to the upside as is customarily the case, the fact that the decline in consens

  The British Army has launched a campaign to attract new recruits by focusing on emotional need states and personalised messaging.
  The ‘This is Belonging’ campaign, created by Karmarama, looks to build on last year’s ‘Become a Better You’ campaign by focusing on the close bonds developed in Army life and the sense of belonging it can offer.

  China's leaders are about to test the promise that holds their entire country together.
  It's a pretty simple one: In exchange for accepting authoritarian rule, citizens have for decades been promised rapid economic growth by the Chinese Communist Party.
  This is more commonly known as the "Chinese dream" and was popularized by President Xi Jinping in 2013 to communicate the government's commitment to turning China into a "moderately prosperous society."

  There's a major rebound underway in the fixed income, currencies, and commodities — or FICC — trading business on Wall Street, and one bank stands to win big from it.

• Trump's proposed border tax will hit these industries the hardest (ROST, BURL)

  President-elect Donald Trump last week said General Motors would face a "big border tax" for making a model of the Chevy Cruze in Mexico. 
  This followed his earlier warnings that US companies would face consequences for making US-sold products abroad. Companies sometimes move production offshore because it's cheaper. In Trump's view, this costs Americans jobs.
  One aspect of tax reform that House Republicans have proposed is a border-adjusted tax that

Expect that to change in 2017 as the live streaming services of all the big social networks grow their user base and the concept gains traction among consumers.
