Fear Indicators vs. Facts & Figures

Aktualisiert
In the last days and weeks overall fear indicators showing that bets and fears on a shortime drop of global stockmarkets had been rising dramatically.

The main reasons - and all are geopolitics:

- Trumps tradewars on China, NAFTA, Europe
- Geopolitical tensions on Syria, North Korea, Russia
- Upcomming First round of election in France


What traders missed: Stockmarkets "underlying" - Global economic Data. This data and upcomming earnings still comming in above expectations. In the next tradingdays better than expected economic data will meet fears wich might be much overdone. Once more.
