LCI Monthly – What Shaped May 2025

May 2025 saw a shift in the global landscape: the U.S. economy contracted, Moody’s downgraded U.S. debt, and trade tensions eased with delayed tariffs. Equity markets rallied, especially in Europe and North America. Friedrich Merz became Germany’s new Chancellor, Pope Leo XIV was elected, and bond yields rose as markets reacted to fiscal concerns and central bank signals.

LCI Monthly - What Shaped April 2025

President Trump’s sweeping tariffs and public attacks on the Federal Reserve rattled markets and global allies in April 2025. His increasingly autocratic rhetoric added to geopolitical unease. Tesla reported a sharp earnings slump, hit by reputational backlash tied to Musk’s political ties. Meanwhile, U.S. consumer confidence dropped to a 13-year low, reflecting growing economic and political uncertainty.

Prosperity Has a Foundation – and It's Beginning to Crumble

As democracy, rule of law, and open markets come under pressure—even in long-trusted economies like the U.S.—investors must rethink geographic diversification. Institutional resilience, not short-term data, is the true driver of sustainable returns. In a world of rising political risk, long-term capital should flow to countries where the foundational pillars of prosperity remain strong and intact.

OECD Economic Outlook – March 2025

Global growth held steady at 3.2% in 2024, but recent indicators show signs of weakening. Inflation remains persistent, sentiment is softening, and policy uncertainty is high. Risks include tighter monetary policy and financial market disruptions. A key concern is rising global fragmentation—though a reversal in tariffs could boost growth. The outlook is increasingly fragile and dependent on policy direction.

Er vergleicht Trump mit Nero, während die Pfeiler der Demokratie brennen, und ruft die Europäer auf, moralisch und militärisch aufzurüsten, die Ukraine zu unterstützen und die demokratischen Werte zu verteidigen.

US Stock Markets Under Pressure: Concerns Over Economic Slowdown Under Trump

Investor optimism following Trump’s re-election has faded amid rising fears of an economic slowdown. Markets tumbled, with the S&P 500 down 3% and Tesla plunging 15%. Slowing demand, political turmoil, and recession warnings weigh heavily. Bond yields have dropped, and key indicators point to weakening growth. Trump now frames the downturn as a “transition period”—but confidence is slipping fast.

U.S. to Implement New Tariffs on Mexico, Canada, and China: A Risky Strategy?

The U.S. will impose new tariffs on Mexico, Canada, and China—raising serious economic and strategic concerns. Despite justifications tied to trade deficits, migration, and the fentanyl crisis, critics warn of supply chain disruptions, rising consumer costs, and diplomatic fallout. La Côte Invest views the move as economically risky, potentially undermining key trade relationships and further destabilizing global market confidence.

Doubts About China’s Economic Data

The Chinese government reported 5% economic growth for 2024, aligning with the target set by the National People’s Congress. According to official statements, this was mainly driven by stimulus measures in the final quarter and strong exports. However, experts like the economists at the Rhodium Group estimate actual growth for 2024 at only 2.4% to 2.8%.

OECD Economic Outlook – Decembre 2024

Our central scenario in the Economic Outlook portrays a picture of resilience. However, this optimism is tempered by significant uncertainties. Elevated geopolitical tensions risk disrupting energy markets and supply chains, potentially driving inflation higher and dampening economic activity. More broadly, these tensions have created headwinds for trade in both advanced and emerging markets, heightening uncertainty over the future course of global trade. A more fragmented, protectionist trading environment and inward-looking policies would negatively affect competition, raise prices, and hinder productivity and growth, while also weighing on the potential for emerging market economies to catch up.

ESG – Für immer verschwunden

Einst Symbol eines verantwortungsvollen Kapitalismus, verschwindet ESG in den USA. Politisierung, Greenwashing und nachlassendes Anlegerinteresse haben das Konzept entleert. Während die Aufsicht zurückweicht und der wirtschaftliche Nationalismus zunimmt, scheint der Traum eines nachhaltigen Kapitalismus endgültig vorbei.

LCI Jährlicher Strategie-Rückblick – 2019

LCI Jährlicher Strategie-Rückblick – 2018

2018 war ein klassisches spätzyklisches, risikoaverses Jahr.
