August 30, 2016--The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) latest risk report has found that the overall assessment of risk levels in EU markets under its remit remains unchanged.

Lyxor ETF Research: ADDITIONAL UNCERTAINTIES LOOMING AHEAD
August 25, 2016--Last week, market tensions eased markedly. The FTSE 100 rallied above pre24th June levels despite a fall in GBP (FTSE 100 is up 5% in June).
US and EM equities are flat to slightly up. EMU equities are the biggest loser (5% in June). Brexit continues to send shockwaves through UK's political landscape, with Boris Johnson pulling out from his bid to be prime minister and the launch of a rival bid by his former ally Michael Gove. Theresa May, UK home secretary, also launched her campaign and bookmakers cited her as the favorite to succeed David Cameron. Results are due on September 9th, leaving the market with high uncertainties until then.
