‘Thinking globally, but worrying globally too’

When I was trying to think of a name, in the weeks before the launch of my business in July last year, I thought about my own journey from a Europe-only focus to a global one.  This – and the name of a Miles Davis track – led me to Financial Orbit and the use of a globe as the fledgling company’s symbol.  Thinking globally can seem to be a huge informational challenge…but it is the only way to really get a feel for what is going on. 

So what have been my highlights of the last week?

·         Sentiment remains awesome but…

·         The US: modest real wages and continued deficits;

·         Europe: Germany rolls over;

·         Japan: shabby, shabby consumption progress;

·         China: property and iron ore signals;

·         Roll on September…maybe not;

·         Be thankful for the growth of the internet

Feel free to contact me on any aspect of the above…or anything else in fact.
