The document analyzes international market conditions and provides investment recommendations. It finds that the UK offers potential due to the weak pound increasing earnings for FTSE 100 companies. Japan is not recommended as the strong yen is hurting corporate earnings. Hong Kong is also not advised due to potential trade conflicts weakening China's economy and Hong Kong's exports. Overall international equities are recommended to be lowered due to growing trade war risks, though some value may still exist in the UK.
