- Debt affordability remains in focus

Bottom line
Stronger US economic and earnings growth has supported US (in local terms) and global equity markets. Valuation expansion of other non-US equity markets has led to strong performance as global investors sought out diversification. Moderating UK inflation is positive for the gilts market, but concerns remain for long-term affordability. Gold & Precious Metals performed strongly in the year owing to downward pressure on currencies and bonds as well as concerns around geopolitical risks.
