"JP Morgan Cazenove has downgraded its position on British stocks while upgrading euro zone equities, citing negative pressures on British equities from rising gilt yields as one of its main reasons.

"Last week we took profits on our Emerging Markets 'overweight', as it became a consensus long, the U.S. dollar is moving higher, the Fed is coming up and Chinese property tightening is restarting," JP Morgan Cazenove equity strategist Mislav Matejka said in a note.

"Today we build on this move by cutting UK, which was our key OW this year, foreign exchange hedged. UK benefited from large emerging market exposure, low yields and British pound weakness. UK bond yields are rebounding, and this is clearly not 'for the right reasons'," he added.

He added that euro zone stocks looked better, on expectations they would benefit from the euro falling against the dollar and since European bank stocks could benefit from higher bond market yields, which could help their profits.

British 10-year gilt yields this month hit their highest level since June's Brexit vote, on concerns over a 'hard Brexit' in which Britain leaves the EU's single market in order to adopt immigration controls, disrupting access to its main trading partner."

Russia has a terrible leader.

Scotland's Sturgeon Calls Brexit Talks With May "Frustrating"

Would prefer this mob.

Tell us something we didn't know. The compulsory aid budget could only have been dreamed up by politicians with no real world experience. I am warming to Priti Patel, she talks sense.

British taxpayers’ money is being wasted on “superficial” foreign aid projects by some of the world’s biggest international bodies, Priti Patel has warned.
In her first newspaper interview since becoming International Development Secretary, Ms Patel told The Telegraph that her department will in the coming weeks “call out” foreign aid organisations using British money in “completely the wrong way”.
And she disclosed that in future Union flags should be displayed on all British foreign aid packages, in a major show of “soft power” in the wake of Brexit.
Speaking on a trip to Africa, she warned that she will “shut down” any British funding streams found to be “wasting” money.

let's hope she can deliver
everyone knows about the appallingly waste and misappropriation of aid funding ...... these african countries (among others) must think every day is christmas

Aid is about influence. If it was about just poverty we would not be giving aid to India when they have a major space program.

aid is about a great many things, but lining the leaders' pockets should not be one of the considerations
