Financial markets have swung sharply over the past week as developments in Ukraine added to fears of potential sanctions against Russia, exacerbating market jitters about inflation and central banks raising interest rates. The S&P is down nearly 9 per cent for the year, after hitting a record high in January, while the Nasdaq has lost 13.4 per cent.
UK and US inflation has hit recent highs and markets are predicting that the Federal Reserve and the Bank Of England will lift interest rates sharply over the next 12 months.
There is an awful lot of red on the board above, but it’s clear to see that once again, TPP is holding its own. As financial markets have fallen in 90% of the world, our traders are still posting profits. Not a single one of this weeks traders is down money on the year, and one (CF) is actually up 7.6%!
