Geopolitical risk remains market’s top focus

Описание: This week, Senior Investment Strategist, North America Doug Gordon discusses how geopolitics dominated the news at the beginning of the week and outlines the central scenarios facing Russia, Ukraine, Israel and Gaza. Gordon points out how several macroeconomic data points continued this year’s “validation story,” including durable goods orders and weekly jobless claims numbers in the U.S. He touches on the impact of modestly positive news from Europe such as the Bank of England’s unanimous vote in favor of keeping interest rates steady and the rising Markit Purchasing Managers’ Index, which confirms why the European Central Bank continues to pursue accommodative policy action. Gordon wraps it up with a preview of the slew of key economic data points to be unveiled next week. Director of Communications Kate Stouffer hosts.
