Equity markets rallied modestly in light August trading last month as the dollar continued its resurgence and commodity prices began to settle into a range following their recent plunge from all-time highs. Meanwhile, US treasuries saw record-sized two-, five- and 10-year auctions while yields hit lows not seen since early May, indicating that the credit turmoil and economic slowdown has begun to creep overseas and provoke new sources of demand for dollar-denominated assets. Historically, September is the worst performing month for US equities. This September may avoid this fate if dollar-denominated assets continue to be seen as a safe haven. An array of equity, energy and central bank news could all affect this outcome.
