The Sunday Night Insight discusses the recent pullback in US equities, which has led to some clients questioning whether this is the beginning of the end of a nearly 10-year bull market. However, the authors argue that this pullback is actually smaller than previous ones and does not necessarily signal an impending recession. They highlight several steady factors, such as economic growth, benign inflation, robust earnings, and low probability of recession, which remain in place despite the unsteady undertow created by trade tensions with China and other geopolitical concerns. Overall, they conclude that the steady factors will likely continue to outweigh the risks posed by the unsteady undertow.

The Ritz-Carlton Club in St. Thomas has sustained damage from Hurricane Irma but appears to have stood up reasonably well compared to the rest of the island.

Insurance adjusters are now assessing the damage, which seems to be more severe closer to the hotel buildings. About 40% of the residences at the club are currently usable, and electricity has been restored in some areas of downtown St. Thomas. The airport remains closed for commercial flights, and internet and cell service are still limited on the island.

The document discusses the relationship between intelligence and parasites in Africa. It suggests that while parasite load has a negative effect on individual intelligence in both Africa and the US, it also has a positive effect on biological diversity and genetic selection for certain groups. The author notes that hominids have always emerged from Africa due to its high genetic variability, which is especially true for smaller organisms like parasites. This leads to the observation that migration tends to follow the pattern of moving from tropics to temperate to arctic regions, with rare exceptions such as salamanders. The author also notes that while many studies show a strong tendency for whites in the US to live in healthy environments and blacks in inferior habitats, it is important to consider the broader environmental factors at play when studying intelligence.

The document discusses global economic data and trends in different regions. In the US, job markets are gradually improving, spending is up, and access to credit remains easy due to a healthy capital position of banks.

In China, there are mixed views on whether economic data reflects its true state, with some analysts suggesting that it is not as bad as it looks. Meanwhile, in Europe, data has been considered bizarre since the ECB gifted EU banks 650 billion Euros. Despite this, there have been positive signs of recovery, particularly in terms of improving jobless claims and a growing economy. However, concerns remain about the long-term sustainability of these improvements due to rising deficits.

However, they have different interpretations of events, with the spy plane collision in 2001 being a notable example. The pause will allow time for negotiations and give China an opportunity to celebrate its 40th anniversary of reform and opening up.
