Global equities reversed course last week, with markets unwinding some of their recent gains. Global equities were down 2.0% and 1.4% in local currency and sterling terms respectively.

HAL in 2001: A Space Odyssey. The replicants in Blade Runner. The Terminator and Westworld. Science fiction films that feature artificial intelligence (AI) seem particularly adept at tapping into human neuroses. The knowledge that humans can turn on each other is bad enough; the idea that mere machines could become sentient and malign seems particularly terrifying.
Global equities continued their upward path last week, gaining some 1% in both local currency and sterling terms. China was the star performer with a 6.3% increase while the UK lagged with a 0.3% gain. Meanwhile, government bonds lost 0.5% or so with 10-year US Treasury yields moving up to the 4% mark.
