The key points raised are :

• The political scandal around President Trump is likely to speed up, rather than stop his pro-business reforms
• However, after a strong run, shares remain vulnerable to a short-term correction with worries around Trump, North Korea, The US Fed, etc, providing potential triggers
• But with most share markets offering reasonable value, global monetary conditions remaining easy and global growth and profits looking good the trend in shares is likely to remain up.
