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.

This is because the decisions made by political leaders can have a direct impact on the global economy, which in turn can affect the performance of financial markets. Investors need to be aware of the potential effect of geopolitics on financial markets and their investment strategies. By understanding the relationships between countries, economies, and societies around the world, they can make better informed decisions about where to invest their money.

Our authors summarize thoughts on the potential impact of political processes on financial markets and investment strategies.
