Summary:The OECD's global growth estimate for 2013 of 3.1% suggests the results of the supportive policy environment created by central banks around the world are finally coming to fruition. This improved global backdrop is manifested in markets via rising risk appetite among investors, who are positioning for a strong second half of the year. But this wave of positive sentiment has not impacted all markets in equal measures.

On the other, growth in Europe is yet to bounce back, despite the barrage of monetary support provided by the ECB.
