The MSCI World Healthcare NR Index gained 3.0% in June, while the MSCI World NR Index rose 1.5%. The decline in 10-year yields provided a booster shot to growth stocks, relative to their value peers. It is likely that the next months will continue to be dominated by debates on Fed and interest rates topics, and related growth/value factor pivots. More clarity on tapering can be expected after the summer break and the Jackson Hole summit.
