2nd October 2017

 September was an action-packed month, with North Korean rockets and a succession of monster hurricanes all coming at the markets almost at the same time. We also should give a shout-out to the Federal Reserve as also contributing to the frenzy, this after it gave its clearest signal yet that investors should be ready for a December rate hike. In the process, it perhaps single-handedly helped the dollar index recover from a three-year low hit earlier in the month.
