Market In Review 09/2022
A week of round turns and high volatility left us pretty much back where we started in most markets. Whether you agree with Russia’s line of defending against the creep of NATO to its borders, or the West’s defence of democracy, the impact of the geopolitical risk will be around for some time to come. That means more volatility ahead in all markets. It will whipsaw around from each headline posting, whether that is positive or negative.
Market In Review – 04/2022
The stock market sell off has been an aggressive start to the year, with major indices down 9%, and worse in the tech market, with the NASDAQ down 15% from all-time highs set in November 2021. Whilst at this stage it is only a correction (a move of 10%) and not yet officially a bear market (that line is 20%), the media is taking it with some surprise – and panic. To those who watch the markets it is no surprise at all.
