Given the unprecedented turn of events around the UK general election result, there will “undoubtedly be an impact” on the UK and London housing market, London Central Portfolio Limited (LCP), a real-estate advisory firm that has built up around $1 billion of assets under management since 1990, has contended. By how much is the key question.

It might be premature to jump to predictions but the UK is in somewhat uncharted territory until the dust settles. Not again I hear you say. But one thing markets don’t like is uncertainty.

The outcome of the British general election has certainly thrown a spanner in the works for Prime Minister Theresa May, with several of her key advisors resigning this weekend. But it was a scenario and a possibility that I had written about in a recent Forbes post just days prior to the election.

Prior to this there was an insightful piece by Rod Liddle, associate editor of The Spectator and former editor of BBC Radio 4’s Today programme, who wrote weeks before the election. In it said don’t discount the possibility of an upset and the polls getting it wrong. They’ve been wrong before – over the EU referendum in June 2016 and U.S. Presidential election last November.

indian stock market news: Celanese Corporation(CE)

Advisors’ Opinion:

    Time To Favor Optionality: Most macro data are similar to, or better than, when the merger was announced. As a result, the same returns have been obtainable, with significantly less stress, simply through owning 3M (MMM) or a basket of chemical companies that approximate the Dow-DuPont portfolio. Relative to the chemical sector, performance has been average, leverage appears reasonable but near-term FCF less-than compelling partly due to new capacity ramping. With the merger likely to close in the near-term (90% chance, in our view), we believe Dow-DuPont will have an opportunity to show how scale creates optionality. The overhaul at Celanese (CE) over the past few years shows the way.
