MARKET OUTLOOK

- US : US markets were under pressure wow on concern about rising inflation. The yield on the 10-year treasury note rose above the psychological level of 5%. Stocks from Utilities, Real Estate and Consumer Durables were among the worst performers, while only Food & Staples retails stocks managed to close on a positve note. On a technical point of view, regarding the swiftness of the recent sell off, a technical bounce should be seen in the early stage of the week. However, it should remain limited.

- EUROPE : European markets lost ground wow, hurt by the surge of interest rates. All sectors were under pressure wow, especially shares from Financials Services, Travel & Leisure & Utilies. Technically, notwithstanding a limited rise in the begining of the week, major european markets should still remain under pressure.
