Heteronomics

Heteronomics represents a different kind of economics. We believe analysis should delve into the details of what is really going on, rather than using overly simplistic assumptions to quick-sell stories. Independence from myopic institutional pressures allows us to focus on the realities underlying your asset allocation decisions, without the conflicts of the old market structures. Heteronomics targets the themes driving UK asset prices, offering the benefits of depth, independence and ultimately price.

News that Iran and Oman were close to a deal on Strait traffic brought market relief, despite unacceptable conditionality and ongoing attacks, including from the Houthis.
A shock decline in US payrolls and downward revisions provide an easy excuse for doves to hold fire too. They discount the falling unemployment rate from boomers retiring.
US inflation data are next week’s global highlight, beyond any potential progress to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. We also look to UK GDP data and the RBA rate decision.
