July Market Digest 2023

• July brought positive returns for all asset classes, especially equities, as investor optimism grew due to falling inflation.
• Model portfolios generated positive performance, benefitting from their broad set of market exposures.
• Corporate bonds (i.e. debt issued by companies) outperformed government debt, but both rose in value following a lowering in UK interest rate expectations as inflation fell to 7.9%.
• Central banks in the US and eurozone increased interest rates by 0.25%, while the Bank of England followed in the same vein just after the month end.
