Weekly Market Outlook October 2, 2016

Weekly Market Outlook:
Pfäffikon SZ, Switzerland – In mid-August, we discussed the problems of Deutsche Bank, Germany’s largest bank. Last week, it became too hot under the feet of some hedge fund managers; they bought massively put options. Policy makers and top management of the bank, however, are waving the current problems of Deutsche ‘to the realm of fiction.’ However, the similarities on the affairs of Citigroup in 2008, are legitimate. The fact is that there is something fundamentally wrong with the European banking system. The structural underperformance of the financial sector is no accident, but rather treacherous.

Coming week, investors will undoubtedly again draw attention to Deutsche Bank. In addition, the agenda is richly filled with macro data.
