Ward Henderson Management – Germany’s Economic Gloom Could Continue

TAIPEI, Taiwan -- Ward Henderson Management - German economy shows signs of weakening further due to downside risks. In May, an important indicator of overall economic health, declined by more than expected. Germany's manufacturing industry reported poor growth, prompting concerns about the Eurozone's economic wellbeing.

Ward Henderson Management analysts say a sharp decline in foreign demand is affecting factories throughout the Eurozone, prompting speculation that the European Central Bank may be forced to resort to stimulus befitting a financial crisis. Germany in particular is experiencing the manufacturing downturn with new orders falling by 2.2% on a monthly basis in May, down 8.6% from the same time last year.

Earlier this month, Germany's 10-year Bund yield reached an almost historic low point of minus 0.4% as many analysts predict that the European Central Bank will opt to deliver more stimulus to cope with the slowdown.

Analysts at Ward Henderson Management say the recent data does not spell good news for Germany's short-term economic outlook. Germany's economy likely contracted in the second quarter of this year and the chances of making a recovery in the third quarter seem to be diminishing.

While much of Europe has dealt well enough with the manufacturing slowdown, Germany is showing signs of strain. Germany's labor market is weakening and Ward Henderson Management analysts believe that that, combined with major downside risks including global trade tensions, geopolitical concerns and the fallout from Brexit will likely cause Germany's economy to weaken further in the coming months.

Ward Henderson Management – Fed Could Cut Interest Rates

TAIPEI, Taiwan -- Analysts at Taipei, Taiwan based Ward Henderson Management say recent developments in the trade war between the U.S. and China and trade problems between the US and other countries may prompt the U.S. Federal Reserve to cut interest rates during the course of this year.

Although U.S. President Donald Trump has been calling on the Fed to cut interest rates to boost the U.S. economy, Trump's recent trade-related actions are the reason the Fed is considering an interest rate cut.

Trump recently escalated trade tensions when he increased tariffs on thousands of Chinese imports from 10% to 25%, causing optimism about an imminent end to the trade deal to fade. Last week, Trump announced that the US would levy tariffs on imports from Mexico unless the country managed to reduce the flow of migrants entering the U.S. Trump is also waging a war on almost every other major U.S. trading partner.

These moves have prompted widespread concern about the outlook for the U.S. economy and Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell recently indicated that the central bank would consider a rate cut if trade tensions cause US economic growth to weaken.

With little chance of a trade deal being reached between the US and China before year end, Ward Henderson Management analysts predict that an interest rate cut could happen as soon as September this year and anticipate a reduction of as much as three quarters of a percent by 2020.

Ward Henderson Management Weighs Impact of Brexit Delay

TAIPEI, Taiwan -- Ward Henderson Management analysts say relief brought by Brexit extension could come at a hefty price. Last month, with less than 48 hours before the originally scheduled date of departure, European Union leaders agreed to extend the Brexit deadline to 31 October this year with a review scheduled for the end of June.

UK Prime Minister Theresa May had requested an extension until 30th June but European Union leaders rejected this time frame saying that this was an unrealistic deadline.

After many months of back and forth with little progress being made in Brexit negotiations, Ward Henderson Management analysts say many have felt a sense of relief since the extension was granted but the road leading to Britain's eventual departure from the EU is still littered with significant obstacles and the extension itself could exacerbate an already messy situation.

For the most part the Brexit delay seems to have had a positive impact on economic data in the short term.

In the UK, the services sector returned to marginal growth last month with a closely monitored index rising just above the 50.0 mark that separates contraction from growth. Ward Henderson Management analysts believe the slight improvement can be attributed to the delay of the threat of a no-deal Brexit.

The UK travel sector has also benefited from the news that the Brexit deadline would be extended with leading airlines reporting significant gains after the extension was announced.

In Germany, investor morale improved for the sixth consecutive month last month with the Brexit delay and better than expected resilience in the global economy fueling the increased optimism.

But analysts at Ward Henderson Management have warned that the Brexit delay could hurt small businesses. A prolonged period of uncertainty with no definite ending affects companies' ability to plan for possible outcomes.

Brexit negotiations have already cost the UK economy dearly and the extension will only increase the cost. Britain's economy is already 2 percent smaller than it would have been if the country had chosen to remain in the European Union.

Ward Henderson Management to Hold Fundraising Dinner to Benefit Taiwanese Children Living in Poverty

TAIPEI, Taiwan -- Taipei, Taiwan-based Ward Henderson Management will hold its annual fundraising dinner in July of this year. Proceeds from the event will go to a local children's foundation to help with the running costs of the organization.

Children growing up in families affected by poverty are less likely to receive the essential necessities such as education, food, clothing and proper medical care. These children are often less likely to develop properly and may fail to reach their optimum physical, social and cognitive potential, placing them in a disadvantaged position later in life.

Although the incidence of children living in conditions of poverty is relatively low, with only 25 percent of children experiencing conditions of poverty during their first five years of life and less than 10 percent living in persistent poverty past the age of 6, Ward Henderson Management has undertaken to raise much-needed funds to support organizations working to assist needy children in Taiwan.

"A major contributing factor to the prevalence of children living in poverty in Taiwan is parents who are either unemployed or lack the level of education required to secure employment. As children who are living in poverty may face similar issues to their parents as adults, it is imperative that something is done to break the cycle," says John Maxwell, Head of Public Relations at Ward Henderson Management.

Ward Henderson Management's annual fundraising dinner will include a silent auction and the firm is calling on other companies in the financial services industry to donate prizes for it.
