Market Reviews

Global markets extended gains in February as economic data improved across major economies and investor confidence strengthened.

Global markets began 2017 strongly as optimism surrounding global growth, corporate earnings and reflationary policies supported investor sentiment.

Global markets were broadly positive in November as the US presidential election result triggered a sharp shift in expectations around fiscal policy, inflation and growth.

Global markets ended on a generally positive note in October, supported by improved corporate earnings expectations and continued accommodative central bank policy.
