Logistics group Kuehne und Nagel International AG on Wednesday set 2026 targets above market expectations and said it expected positive growth trends this year, sending its shares up around 7%.
Despite a decline in fourth-quarter volumes, the Swiss freight forwarder said it expected positive growth and earnings trends seen over past several years to persist, although not at the "exceptional" levels of 2021 and 2022.
Freight forwarders such as Kuehne+Nagel and Denmark's DSV benefited from sky-rocketing freight rates during the pandemic, but falling global consumer demand, soaring inflation and high inventories have dragged rates lower.

The group targets average annual operating profit (EBIT) growth of 17% to 19% from 2019 levels and a conversion rate – the ratio of EBIT to gross profit – of 25% to 30% by 2026.
JPMorgan analysts said this implied an EBIT of 3.0 billion to 3.4 billion Swiss francs ($3.2 billion to $3.6 billion) by 2026, exceeding analysts' consensus by more than 50%.
The broker also noted the conversion rate was mainly driven by "company-specific factors".
Vontobel analysts said: "2026 targets materially above expectations imply substantial valuation upside".
Kuehne+Nagel, which operates in more than 100 countries, said the 2026 strategy aimed to boost organic growth and create a "sustainably higher conversion rate" across business divisions through digitalisation, among others.
Its conversion rate was 34% in 2022 versus around 13% in the years prior to the pandemic.
The company reported a 43% drop in fourth-quarter operating profit to 644 million francs as turbulence in commercial aviation impacted air freight capacity and complexity in ocean freight markets decreased.
Its annual operating profit increased by 28% to 3.76 billion francs.

You know when you have those moments?
I'm having one.
I'm sitting here, eating a piece of Georgia's leftover (and totally unhealthy) German Chocolate birthday cake contemplating the 'big' things in life. Like my giant belly.
I don't think the cake is helping with that.
It's one of those weak moments where I'm just missing home. I'm missing my family. I'm wishing they could share in things with us – and hating that they can't.
It also may be important to point out that currently, it seems as if my entire home state is on fire. Have you heard about these Washington fires? Y'all – they are bad. The air quality is so poor, schools have been shut down and people are evacuating (or wearing respirators…seriously!). It's weird in a way, as thankful as I am to be breathing this 'ol fresh Alabama air, I feel like I'm missing out.
Like a soldier that has trained for battle with a battalion who isn't there in the fight.
I feel like I should be there to share in the experience – to share in the battle.
Is that strange?
I can see now why soldiers risk their lives to fight with their friends. There is this sense unique of commitment – a strange sense that you want to be along their side for the bad, as well as the good.
Maybe it's just comes from being a part of that town for 26 years.
But I'm missing being a part of this with them.
I've found so many things I love about Southern Culture since being down here. The people, for instance, are fantastic. I've established friendships faster here than anywhere I can remember. I'm sure part of that comes from being desperate and needy – I think people could sense I was sending out SOS signals.
Help! Please! I'm lonely and need friends and encouragement or I'll die! Die, I tell you!
But then at a local coffee shop the other day, I saw a young man who looked something like this:
And it made me so desperately miss living in the West. Isn't that weird?
No. I don't dress like that. Neither do most of the people in the Pacific Northwest. But if you've been there, you may know what I mean.
It's cattle and coffee shops. Vineyards and rain forests. Hippies and cowboys.
Cool rivers and clear water:
With lots of mountains:
And orchards:
It's where people dress like this:
And this:
And this:
And somehow, it still all makes sense.
It's been far too hot here to rock my cowboy boots (which were every day attire back home) and I still wonder in this upscale community what people would think of my red flannel and PBR hat.
A new friend of mine here advised me that despite the 'typical' Southern Woman attire, I should totally rock them anyway.
Which I will proudly do.
Once it stops being a million degrees.
All that to say, I do love the South. I love so many things about it. But it will never have that coffee-house-sage-brush-pear-orchard-cool-fall-giant-mountain-cool-river feel that my home has. It's not supposed to. It's special in a different way.
A way that is beautiful and unique, all it's own.
As demonstrated in the wonderful citrus trees.
And the red cardinals that land on our porch.
And the beautiful and soft brown magnolia tree leaves.
And the sweet smell of a gardenia bush.
Washington can't have any of these things. Each place is unique to what the good Lord designed them to be.
Just like me. And you. And even though I'm a transplant to the South, the Western part of me will always be that. A woman who loves the 'ol West.
Point being, I don't see myself learning to smock dresses anytime soon. Not that there's anything wrong with smocked dresses. I just have a feeling Georgia may be wearing a flannel to church instead.
And that's okay.
Because I have a belly full of German Chocolate cake at the moment. And everything is okay when you have a belly full of German Chocolate cake.
Even melancholy moments.
That you choose to share with the entire world on your blog.
The end.

Here is how I made DT Office eat files:
- Created a file with random data and pdf extension:
$ dd if=/dev/urandom of=Desktop/file.pdf bs=1024 count=10
- Pulled this file together with some others into the Sorter with command key pressed.
- The other files are in the inbox, but file.pdf is gone. No warning given. There is an entry in the protocol however.
It doesn't have to be random data: Just giving a plain text file the .pdf extension is enough to provoke this behaviour.
This worries me, because I plan to import rather huge quantities of files into DevonThink. Imagine I lose 1% of my import. Even if it's not a real pdf file, I would like to preserve it. It's not unlikely that some files in my collection have the wrong extension. Just deleting those is not what I had expected.

LGBTQ people of color report barriers to academic achievement
New research from the Williams Institute in collaboration with the Point Foundation examined the school experiences and higher education environments of LGBTQ people of color.
Results show that more than twice as many LGBTQ POC as white LGBTQ adults report that unfair treatment at school due to being LGBTQ was a barrier to their academic success (10% vs. 4%). Lifetime anti-LGBTQ bullying, harassment, and unfair treatment also kept them from getting the amount of education, training, or degrees that they wanted (15% vs. 7%).
Key findings
- Twice as many LGBTQ people of color as white LGBTQ adults say that unfair treatment at school was a barrier to their academic success.
- Fewer LGBTQ people of color have completed a post-secondary degree or certificate compared to their white LGBTQ peers.
- One-third of LGBTQ people of color received little or no information about college applications from high school counselors and teachers.
Barriers to Educational Attainment Due to Being LGBTQ
LGBTQ people of color reported experiences of not fully belonging, needing to hide their sexual orientation or gender identity at school because they are LGBTQ, and experiences of unfair treatment, harassment, or bullying that impacted the quality and quantity of their education.
Nearly one in four (23.4%) LGBTQ POC felt that they did not fully belong at school at some point in their lives because they are LGBTQ. About four in 10 (42.7%) LGBTQ POC reported ever needing to hide their sexual orientation or gender identity at school because they are LGBTQ. Findings were similar for White LGBTQ adults.

Donald Trump took in $125 million just this quarter. That means that he and the RNC have more money than all of the Democratic candidates who have released their numbers combined. The question becomes, what is POTUS going to do with all that loose cash?
Trump has been openly waring against the "fake news." He has notably gone up against CNN, MSNBC, The Washington Post, and The New York Times upon occasion. During his rallies, the president has incited to violence some of his followers by calling out the media by name and pointing them out in the crowd. Security has had to escort them to safety more than once.
All the president's people came up with another outrageous act to deflect the public's attention away from the impeachment news.
POTUS ratcheted up the tension by releasing a 30-second campaign ad: Biden Corruption. It was a propaganda ad making "misleading accusations about Biden and his son Hunter," according to The Daily Beast.
Shot like a movie or documentary, ad played over House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA):
'Joe Biden promised Ukraine $1 billion if they fired the prosecutor investigating his son's company. But when President Trump asks Ukraine to investigate corruption, the Democrats want to impeach him.'
Then, the ad went after cable network news stars: Jim Acosta, Chris Cuomo, and Don Lemon of CNN and MSNBC's leading host Rachel Maddow. It said:
'And their media lapdogs fall in line.'
A CNN spokesperson told The Daily Beast:
'CNN is rejecting the ad, as it does not meet our advertising standards. Specifically, in addition to disparaging CNN and its journalists, the ad makes assertions that have been proven demonstrably false by various news outlets, including CNN.'
Trump 2020 campaign communications director Tim Murtagh released a statement that read:
'CNN spends all day protecting Joe Biden in their programming, so it's not surprising that they're shielding him from truthful advertising too, and then talking to other media outlets about it. Our ad is entirely accurate and was reviewed by counsel, and CNN wouldn't even describe to us what they found objectionable. This isn't a cable news channel anymore, it's a Democrat public relations firm.'
Actually President Barack Obama and other world leaders saw Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin as totally useless in investigating Ukraine's corruption. In an attempt to reinforce stricter anti-corruption policies, they wanted Shokin and like officials removed.
This is the ad that CNN refused to air:
I AM DRAINING THE SWAMP! pic.twitter.com/U7WxKrO6Kx
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 27, 2019
It seems that Biden took the lead on his idea against Ukraine's corruption, but several international organization wanted Shokin gone, too. These included the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), the G7, and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Trump's campaign appears ready and able to weaponize his ads.
CNN has rejected a Trump ad once before. A few months after he became president, his people sent CNN an ad entitled 100 Days. It targeted the supposed "fake news" media, including CNN. Plus, it claimed the network had not given Trump appropriate credit for "making America great again."
'CNN requested that the advertiser remove the false graphic that says the mainstream media is "fake news." The mainstream media is not fake news, and therefore the ad is false. Per our policy, it will be accepted only if that graphic is deleted.'

The Poker Renaissance Modern Approaches to Playing
This is where the all-in mindset comes into play. It's not just about pushing all your chips to the center of the table; it's a mental attitude that encourages embracing challenges and uncertainty. To adopt the all-in mindset, players need to understand that poker, like life, involves calculated risks. Instead of being consumed by fear, players channel that energy into thoughtful analysis of their situation. This mindset empowers players to embrace challenges, seeing them as opportunities for growth rather than threats. The willingness to take calculated risks can lead to big rewards, both in poker and in life. The all-in mindset also requires a shift in focus from short-term results to long-term goals. Fear often stems from a fixation on immediate losses. By adopting a broader perspective, players can recognize that variance is a natural part of the game.
In poker, even the best hands can lose due to luck. What matters is consistently making the right decisions based on the information at hand. Emotional control is another key aspect of the all-in mindset. When fear takes hold, emotions can cloud judgment and lead to impulsive choices. Mastering emotional control allows players to maintain their composure, even in the most intense moments. This level-headedness enables better decision-making, increasing the chances of success. Furthermore, the all-in mindset encourages players to learn from every experience, regardless of the outcome. Losses become opportunities to analyze what went wrong and improve strategies. Wins are celebrations of well-executed decisions. Over time, this mindset transforms fear into a driving force for continuous improvement. In , the all-in mindset is a potent IDN Poker tool for conquering fear in poker playing.
It's about embracing challenges, taking calculated risks, focusing on long-term goals, maintaining emotional control, and learning from every experience. This mindset not only enhances a player's poker skills but also nurtures valuable life skills such as resilience, adaptability, and decision-making under pressure. By adopting the all-in mindset, players can transcend their fears and reach new heights in both the poker world and their personal journeys. The Poker Renaissance Modern Approaches to Playing Poker, a game that has fascinated and challenged players for centuries, is undergoing a renaissance in the modern era. Once relegated to dimly lit backrooms and smoky casinos, poker has now found a new life in the digital age, with innovative strategies and approaches reshaping the way players approach the game. The emergence of online poker platforms has been a driving force behind the renaissance.

Over the past decade, herbal and ayurvedic drugs have become a subject of world importance, with both medicinal and economical implications. A regular and widespread use of herbs throughout the world has increased serious concerns over their quality, safety and efficacy. Thus, a proper scientific evidence or assessment has become the criteria for acceptance of herbal health claims. In the present study we examined the antioxidant effects of ethanolic extract of roots of Clerodendrum serratum (CSR) at various concentrations in the DPPH radical scavenging assay, FRAP assay (Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power) and the Hydrogen peroxide radical scavenging assay. The results of the present study revealed that the plant extract has significant antioxidant activity and are encouraging for further assessment to elucidate the mechanism of action and to identify the bioactive compounds implicated in the antioxidant effect and the membrane stability.

PURPOSE Substantial progress has been made in identifying susceptibility variants for AMD in European populations; however, few studies have been conducted to understand the role these variants play in AMD risk in diverse populations. The present study aims to examine AMD risk across diverse populations in known and suspected AMD complement factor and lipid-related loci.
METHODS Targeted genotyping was performed across study sites for AMD and lipid trait-associated single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs). Genetic association tests were performed at individual sites and then meta-analyzed using logistic regression assuming an additive genetic model stratified by self-described race/ethnicity. Participants included cases with early or late AMD and controls with no signs of AMD as determined by fundus photography. Populations included in this study were European Americans, African Americans, Mexican Americans, and Singaporeans from the Population Architecture using Genomics and Epidemiology (PAGE) study.
RESULTS Index variants of AMD, rs1061170 (CFH) and rs10490924 (ARMS2), were associated with AMD at P=3.05×10(-8) and P=6.36×10(-6), respectively, in European Americans. In general, none of the major AMD index variants generalized to our non-European populations with the exception of rs10490924 in Mexican Americans at an uncorrected P value<0.05. Four lipid-associated SNPS (LPL rs328, TRIB1 rs6987702, CETP rs1800775, and KCTD10/MVK rs2338104) were associated with AMD in African Americans and Mexican Americans (P<0.05), but these associations did not survive strict corrections for multiple testing.
CONCLUSIONS While most associations did not generalize in the non-European populations, variants within lipid-related genes were found to be associated with AMD. This study highlights the need for larger well-powered studies in non-European populations.

Sometime around December last year, Simbarashe Chanetsa was in so much pain he struggled to breathe.
He could neither sit up nor eat. He thought he was going to die in his sleep.
"I didn't go to the hospital," said Chanetsa, a 33-year-old entrepreneur who battled what he believes was the coronavirus.
"Why? When they do not even have medication for the virus?"
After a couple of days, he turned to steam therapy, as well as alternative medicine and traditional herbs. Chanetsa, whose symptoms included fatigue, loss of taste, a fever and chest pain, never got tested for Covid-19 — the disease caused by the coronavirus.
Chanetsa's rejection of health care in the midst of a pandemic speaks to how deeply cynical Zimbabweans have become about a system infamous for its expense, inefficiency and lack of personnel and medicines.
Patients' doubts about the system have compelled some to treat themselves, a risky proposition given the ever-evolving nature of the potentially lethal virus.

Zimbabwe has recorded more than 122 000 cases of Covid-19 as of yesterday. Neighbouring South Africa has had far worse situation than other southern African countries, with more than 2,5 million cases.
"Zimbabwe's health sector is now moribund," said David Mukwekwezeke, who worked at a public hospital for three years as a doctor and has written extensively for local media about Covid-19.
"Virtually every health professional working on the ground and the front line can testify to that."
It wasn't always so. Back in the 1980s, Zimbabwe's health care system was renowned for its excellent hospitals and robust primary care.
But as debt and corruption laid waste to the economy in the early 2000s, Zimbabwe's vaunted health care regime crumbled.
From 2000 to 2007, government spending on health fell by 43%, according to a 2018 article published in Global Health Action, a research journal focused on international health issues.
Some hospitals hobbled along without electricity or running water.
In 2008, government physicians took home less than $1 a month, the article states.
The decline persisted, marked by low government spending, staff shortages and lack of medicines.
Then, in March 2020, the coronavirus arrived.
At the end of last year, after a national lockdown aimed at halting the virus, the government opened its borders, hoping to resurrect the country's pandemic-paralysed economy.
Instead, new strains made their way in from neighbouring South Africa and elsewhere, further weighing down a health system already well below its capacity.
Raiva Simbi, director of the government's National Microbiology Reference Laboratory, said doctors initially had trouble diagnosing Covid-19, in part because "there were no specific tests" for the disease. "The coronavirus was elusive," he said. And those challenges only mounted as new strains arrived.
In October, Zimbabwe averaged only 127 Covid-19 cases per week. By January, as new strains flourished, its weekly average ballooned to about 8 000.
By late June, the weekly average dropped to 1 237 cases, well below other southern African countries such as Zambia, Botswana, Namibia and South Africa.
Those who have braved Zimbabwe's hospitals and health centres echo Chanetsa's lament.
Sithabile Dewa's brother-in-law was a 45-year-old chef.
In January, he had trouble breathing and suffered chest pains.
He went to The Avenues Clinic, and after three days, he began to fail, said Dewa, who declined to identify him.
Doctors there said he needed a ventilator, but the hospital had none.
The family went from hospital to hospital — both public and private — in Harare, trying to find one. But each time, Dewa said, "either the hospital [was] full or didn't have nurses to attend to patients."
"Unfortunately, he passed away less than 24 hours after we started looking for the ventilator," Dewa said. He was sick for less than a week.
It can take days for doctors to diagnose new strains of the virus, even in a private hospital.
In January, Kudakwashe Musasiwa, a 42-year-old founder of an online shopping enterprise, endured a week of pain, fever, three Covid-19 tests, two antigen tests and a chest X-ray before doctors treated him for Covid-19.
"Getting a hospital bed alone was a nightmare," said Nomaliso Musasiwa, Musasiwa's wife.
They called an ambulance, but it never came.
They also contacted the hospital where he was headed, but no one answered. "At this point using a car was hard since he was on an oxygen concentrator," Nomaliso said.
Kudakwashe ended up in the hospital for 16 days. He couldn't breathe and was in danger of dying. He got a ventilator with the help of friends and family. It took him weeks to recover.
Chanetsa has now fully recovered, but it took two or three weeks before he "felt close to normal," he said. And he's careful to protect himself against Covid-19 because "I won't want to experience that kind of pain again."
He doesn't regret avoiding the hospital.
"I treated myself until I got better," he said. — Global Press Journal

Dermatologists Reveal The Ideal Morning Skin Care Routine To Follow
Plus, their favorite products to use.
There's no better way to start your day than with a little TLC, but when it comes to your morning skin care routine, what are truly the best ways to ensure you're nourishing and protecting your skin? Beyond waking you up, your morning skin care routine preps your skin for all the stress, pollutants, dirt, and more that the day will bring. The last thing you want is to dedicate all your time to a morning routine that's not protecting your skin — or worse, potentially irritating it.
Elite Daily tapped five skin care experts, including dermatologists and estheticians — for their insight on the best possible skin care routines, steps, and products to use in the morning. And with how much wisdom they've dropped, you'll want to take notes. From the right water temperature for washing your face to a prime selection of morning sunscreens, here's your guide to developing the ideal morning skin care routine.
What is the best water temperature for washing your face?
No matter how nice it feels to start your day with some hot water to the face to wake you up, super hot water is not actually the best for your skin. "I recommend using cool to warm water when washing your face," Jessica Houston, vice president of operations and lead esthetician at BEAUTYBEEZ, tells Elite Daily. "Water that is too hot may strip your skin of its natural moisture." While you can also give yourself a little splash of cold water to wake yourself up, it's still best for your skin that you use lukewarm water to cleanse, so you don't shock it with any sort of extreme temperature.
What are the best morning face cleansers?
There are a few paths you can go down when you wash your face in the morning. Rather than using a harsher, exfoliating face cleanser in the AM, Dr. Ervina Wu and Angela Chau Gray, the co-founders of skin care and wellness brand YINA, recommend using a soft, gentle cleanser or even just warm water to wash (particularly if you have dry skin). Among the experts' favorite softer cleansers are YINA's Bio-Adaptive Cleanser ($68, YINA), Philosophy's Purity Facial Cleansing Gel ($19, BEAUTYBEEZ), and Dermalogica's Special Cleansing Gel ($39, Dermalogica).
Generally speaking, you'll want to save exfoliating cleansers for nighttime use, given that they might leave your skin a little red and sensitive. "If you do choose to exfoliate in the morning, always apply a layer of sunscreen afterwards," Lin Chen, founder of Pink Moon, tells Elite Daily.
We only include products that have been independently selected by Elite Daily's editorial team. However, we may receive a portion of sales if you purchase a product through a link in this article.

Should you use toner in the morning?
"A toner can dry the skin and often contains alcohol or witch hazel (both drying)," says Dr. Tracy Evans, MD, a board-certified dermatologist and medical director of Pacific Skin and Cosmetic Dermatology, adding that it's not a necessary step in a morning skin care routine.
That said, if you can't imagine skipping a toner during your routine, choose a gentle one with hydrating ingredients, or at least one that's alcohol free. For example, Houston likes to use Thayers' Witch Hazel Facial Mist ($7, Ulta Beauty). Regardless of what you choose, just make sure to follow up with a moisturizer.

What are the best morning serums and moisturizers to use?
With a new serum and moisturizer cropping up every second (literally), choosing the best ones for the morning probably feels like an impossible task. Not to mention, there's a wide rabbit hole of morning serums and moisturizers you can fall down, depending on your skin type. Across the board, though, vitamin C serums are often the most expert-approved picks to incorporate into your morning routine.
"I highly recommend adding a good vitamin C serum into your regimen, as it helps with hyperpigmentation and protects against free radicals that could potentially harm your skin," Houston says, noting that her personal favorite is Hyper Skin's Hyper Even Brightening Dark Spot Vitamin C Serum ($36, Hyper Skin). Aside from a vitamin C serum, you typically can't go wrong with a morning serum infused with hydrating ingredients, like hyaluronic acid, squalane, or ceramides, or the widely loved niacinamide.
The same goes for moisturizers, too. Although, you might want to adjust the level of hydration or the thickness of your moisturizer, depending on how oily or dry your skin is. "If you tend to experience more oil production throughout the day, I recommend a more lightweight, mattifying moisturizer, like the Philosophy Purity Made Simple Moisturizer," says Houston.

Make time for a little gua sha in your morning skin care routine.
If you have the time, making time for gua sha in the morning can be a very invigorating way to start your day. "Apply a few drops of [the YINA Botanical Serum ($75, YINA)] and gua sha each side of your face for one minute. Take your gua sha routine down along your neck, chest, and arms for another minute," both Wu and Gray say. "This helps improve lymphatic flow and increase circulation ... A daily gua sha ritual helps your skin stay healthy and glowing all year-round." If you don't already have a gua sha stone, YINA offers a Bian Stone ($50, YINA).
Shop gua sha tools
Your morning skin care routine needs SPF.
Whenever you plan on leaving the house, no matter what the weather looks like, you should first apply a layer of sunscreen to protect your skin. Point, blank, period. "I have two favorite facial sun protectants: Pink Moon's AKT Therapy Elemental Sun Balm SPF 30 ($48, Pink Moon and Earthwise Beauty Farizad's Veil Sun Reflector ($44, Pink Moon)," Chen says. "I reach for the AKT Balm during the fall/winter when my skin is drier, and I reach for the Earthwise one during the spring/summer or when I am dealing with a breakout. I love the balm because it's a multitasker and gives skin an even-toned glow. The Earthwise Sun Reflector is powder-based, and I love how I can customize how lightweight I want the sun protectant lotion to be."
Most experts recommend using at least SPF 30 or 35 each day. But before you hunt high and low for SPF 10,000, Dr. Orit Markowitz, board-certified dermatologist and founder of OptiSkin, previously told Elite Daily that the SPF number isn't the be-all and end-all of choosing the right sunscreen. Rather, the best SPF to use in your morning routine is the one that you'll actually use — and reapply — every day, throughout the day.

What shouldn't you include in your morning skin care routine?
Each of the experts was clear that there is one ingredient you should steer clear of in the mornings: retinol. Since retinol can be broken down by the sun, it can leave your skin exposed throughout the day, and you might a liiiiiiittle more sensitive to the sunlight. Typically, it's best to save the retinol for your nighttime routine, when it can work its magic in the dark while you sleep.

Jared Taylor explains why it is fashionable to call someone a "white supremacist," and why the term doesn't make sense. He notes that there shouldn't even be a word for whites who like being around white people any more than there should be one for blacks who like being around black people. In a world gone mad, normal people are treated like deviants.

In Europe, 2022 has gotten off to a turbulent start in the markets. The after-effects of the pandemic were still being felt when the outbreak of war in Ukraine rocked performance in a number of key areas.
Currently, we are facing a serious geopolitical crisis, one which affects Europe closely given the connections that exist between it, Russia and Ukraine. However, events of similar magnitude have impacted the world of finance in the past.
Over the years, we've seen how markets have reacted to the invasion of Kuwait, the London Underground bombings and the nuclear escalation in North Korea, to name a few. You can see their impact in the graph below.
All of these geopolitical events could have led to – or, in some cases, did lead to – an escalation. If you look at the impact on markets, they share two important characteristics:
1) They do not have a lasting impact on the performance of global assets;
2) Historically, the declines have always been followed by swift recoveries. We think back to the Covid-19 crisis, when the recovery was rapid and came sooner than most investors expected.
So, the long-term perspective on geopolitical events and the more recent experience of COVID both argue for a swift recovery in equity markets, even ahead of improving fundamentals.
The less optimistic view
Inevitably, there are some differing views on the subject:
Firstly, you might reasonably argue that equity markets don't reflect the situation on the ground. The conflict continues at great human cost, and the possibility of a protracted struggle seems fairly high, even if the two sides continue to negotiate. That has been reflected, as we've noted before, in reduced expectations for growth and higher expectations for inflation in the Eurozone.
The longer the conflict continues, goes this argument, the greater the impact on the European economy. And, even if we do see a swift end to military conflict, the on-going sanctions against Russia have potential consequences that will only emerge over time.
Secondly, when we look back at the Covid-19 experience, we see an unprecedented level of policy support delivered with unprecedented speed. That's probably not going to be the case this time around. As we saw last week, Central bankers are feeling the pressure to tighten policy and Fed Chair Powell, in particular, was keen to say that the US economy is strong enough to tolerate higher interest rates.
The Bank of England sent a slightly more reserved message but it's difficult to see how monetary authorities can provide too much support when inflation is the highest in a generation. The fixed income market expects another six (or more) rate hikes in the US over the next twelve months – if that proves to be correct, we'd guess that US growth expectations will come down.
Bonds vs shares
When equity markets become unstable, many investors gravitate towards assets they perceive as safe, like fixed income securities. In the short term, these assets tend to show less volatility than equities. It's an attractive feature of bonds but it's important to avoid thinking that bonds are guaranteed to be safe and that equities are intrinsically risky.
The next chart compares the price (indexed from the start of 2018) of an asset generally regarded as high-risk and high return, in this case the Ark Innovation ETF, and something ostensibly low-risk, in this case the Austrian sovereign 100-year. bond. The comparison is fairly close, particularly recently.
The 100-year bond might not have that much credit risk but, by definition, it carries a lot of duration risk. When yields fall, it does well, and vice versa. But it's still an important reminder that the fixed income part of a multi-asset portfolio can have significant implications for the returns. What's the point of fixed income with yields so low? It's an important question. The charts above remind us that there are still a lot of ways to impact a portfolio with decisions related to fixed income.
So, what can we do?
The turnaround in European equities has been swift. Looking to the past can be instructive but we should be cautious about using the Covid-19 experience as a guide. For one, the political environment now is very different from that of the beginning of the pandemic. There could also be greater volatility compared to what we've seen over the past year or so.
This all leads us to a slightly more conservative positioning when compared to the past 18 months. There are a number of risk factors to consider going forward but, as we've seen over the past week, exiting the markets completely can prove to be a much riskier proposition.
A focus on Europe: the potential scenarios
The key to European equities in the medium term will be Europe's ability to latch onto the recovery. According to the latest report published by the ECB, real GDP growth in the eurozone has been revised down by 0.2 percentage points due to the further energy price shock and uncertainty caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
The outlook for European activity is uncertain and is critically dependent on events in Ukraine. The war is weakening short-term growth, and the surge in energy prices combined with the negative effects on consumer confidence has led to weak domestic demand.
The ECB expects economic growth to improve from the second quarter of 2022. Ultimately, though, the outlook will always be weakened by the conflict in Ukraine. The expected improvement is based on a number of supporting factors:
- A further drop in the economic impact of the pandemic,
- A gradual easing of supply bottlenecks,
- An improvement in the competitiveness of export prices with respect to the main trading partners.
Private consumption
Private consumption should recover over the course of the year, despite the increased uncertainty due to the conflict and the rise in energy prices (it shouldn't be forgotten that Covid has been lurking in the background). The increase in energy prices, however, has repercussions on the purchasing power of families. This could lead to a contraction in private consumption in the first part of the year. A slight increase is then expected.
Saving rates
The household saving rate has also been revised downwards and is expected to fall for the whole of 2022. Although the conflict in Ukraine creates uncertainty, which should lead to an increase in precautionary savings, this is not the case as households use the money to cushion, at least in part, the negative effects of the energy shock and rising commodity prices. The ECB expects the savings rate to stabilise well below the historical average, starting in mid-2023.
Business investments
Business investments are likely to increase and represent a growing share of real GDP. In the short term, despite the greater uncertainty and volatility in financial markets due to the conflict, business confidence is still high. As supply disruptions ease, investments are expected to grow, although commodity prices are likely to rise. Higher expenses related to the decarbonisation of the European economy will also provide a further boost to business investments in the medium term.
So, as we head into the second quarter of 2022, there are still a number of uncertainties to contend with. Markets have rallied over the last week or so, but there are still enough unresolved variables to necessitate caution going forward.
As ever, our portfolio management specialists will be monitoring markets daily and making any changes if and when any opportunities arise. If you want to talk to one of our investment consultants, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

A study on the effects of logging on rattan species diversity, abundance, and composition in mixed dipterocarp forest in Malaysia, Borneo. Data was collected from belt transects which were placed along skid trails in logged forest and hiking trails in unlogged forest. In addition to diversity, abundance, and composition measurements, the number of stems per individual and the life stage of each individual were also recorded. No statistically-significant differences were found between the logged and unlogged forest. Unlogged-forest transects did not cluster together on the basis of species composition, and neither did logged-forest transects. However, four logged-forest transects were omitted because no rattans were found, as was one unlogged forest transect. Because all four of these logged-forest transects were located along flooded, swampy skid trails, and because the one unlogged-forest transect was located along a river, the authors believe that logging may negatively affect the establishment of rattans due to the poor drainage of skid trails.
The field! Some places were very muddy. Leeches everywhere. I remember my white shoes became brown. The Rattan! The support! The identifying process – thanks a lot to Shawn Lum. And of course, the presentation!
