Equity markets have been rallying on renewed U.S. growth expectations and broad market optimism, but Paul Flood of Newton Investment Management warns of key risks—stretched valuations, heightened intraday volatility during earnings season, and looming liquidity concerns this August.
Flood discusses the drivers behind the recent elevated volumes across equities, retail versus institutional flow and unpacks his views on relative valuations and risks of a potential market pullback.
With Q2 earnings showing mixed intraday reactions and August’s seasonal liquidity dip approaching, he advises trading desks to tidy portfolios early to avoid elevated costs and volatility during the traditionally thinner trading period.
