Summary for Week ending July 27thCalculated Risk
Europe stole the headlines, especially comments from ECB President Mario Draghi. Of course Draghi has said before that the ECB would do “whatever it takes”, so this wasn’t really new news…Once again the economic data was weak.

Audio: In The Balance: The Race for Investment (27 min) – BBC (mp3)
The clouds are gathering - again - over the economies of the developed world. Can the emerging nations come to the rescue? Or should we be looking for salvation from cutting edge industries? Perhaps events like the Olympics can give a confidence boost to get us out of the starting blocks. This week In the Balance gets out of the studio and with Andrew Walker in the lead, reports from the Global Investment Conference in London.

NEXT WEEK

Wall Street Week Ahead: Rolling out red carpet for central bankersReuters
Stocks took off at the end of the week, drawn by the allure of a helping hand from the world's two most powerful central banks. Traders are unlikely to resist those charms again next week.

Global Markets Week Ahead Reuters
ECB meeting pivotal to next week's markets after Draghi pledge * Stabilisation of euro crisis may be needed to avoid Aug 2011 rout * FOMC/BoE meetings; US payrolls; Global PMIs; Spain auction; European earnings
Currency Positioning and Technical OutlookMarc to Market
Given that market participants seem divided about whether the Fed is prepared to act now or in September, the FOMC is unlikely to disappoint very much.  Given Draghi's recent comments, the risk of disappointment seems greater from the ECB.

Summary Of Recent EventsThe Short Side of The Long
Global business cycle in US and Germany continues to slow - Equity defensives still keep outperforming cyclical sectors - Bond market technicals reveal a potential bearish divergence - Central banks easing cycle will continue as economy slows - Gold's GLD ETF holdings reduced as retail investors sell
