Russian troops amassing on the borders of eastern Ukraine, uncertainty over the pace of China’s economic growth and the steady tightening of the US Federal Reserve’s unprecedented quantitative easing exercise is a heady mix for markets and investors to factor in and face off. But global financial markets have remained
composed, despite some jitters, in the face of these events in recent weeks. The MSCI World index is not so far away from its recent six-year peak, while the S&P 500 index is also near a recent record high. The developed world’s equity markets remain in confident mode in early 2014 and defiantly sanguine about this
range of geopolitical, global economic and financial risks.
