US Trade Uncertainty

•Citi analysts continue to see markets as unprepared for the heightened risk of a prolonged economic struggle that could extend beyond US and China.
•US-EU trade tensions have not peaked despite the delay in the implementation of the auto tariffs on the EU and Japan (for 6 months in exchange of a deal to restrict exports to the US).
Commodities: Oil Supply Disruption Appears

OPEC Crude Production (million barrels/day)
•Oil supply disruption is likely to support Brent prices even if a trade war were to escalate.
•Citi analysts foresee Brent prices hitting a short-term target of US$75/bbl once again, possibly overshooting towards US$78/bbl.

vk.1com/id446425943. Navigating Volatility

• Following the sharp equity rally in 1Q19, it makes sense to derisk portfolios ahead of the seasonally weaker summer months and the ongoing volatility.
• However, Citi analysts caution against broad-based selling and market timing.
