Overview:

• Global economic upturn still under way but there are a few signs that the pace of expansion is no longer accelerating.
• Inflation remains subdued and financial markets calm, little need for aggressive central bank moves on policy.
• Market volatility and economic policy uncertainty both fade as probability of severe “tail risk” events marked lower.
• As ever, there still are uncertainties – North Korea, Spanish politics, US economic policy, Italian elections etc.
