“Evidence of a sustainable Japanese recovery is accumulating. Bond markets drifted lower and might soon offer opportunity to invest more of the cash. Improving economic data suggests the world economy is on a sounder footing, supporting our equity tilt. However, valuations are no longer cheap and further gains will depend upon continuing recovery in corporate profits. Earnings for the second quarter were better than expected and bode well.”
