Politics

In the Politics section, you will find Insider Information plus current trends and movements in international politics. Throughout history, many strong movements in financial markets have been caused by political rather than economical events. For example, just recently the Brexit vote, the U.S. election, and Covid-19 brought high volatility and multiple trading opportunities.

Investors need to be aware of the potential effect of geopolitics on financial markets and their investment strategies.
