At
present the international scene is very unstable. People with lots of money and
greedy egos seem to be particularly confused about the prospects. They have the
financial resources, plenty of financial muscle, they get into the markets, buy
loads of shares, then get nervous, and move out as swiftly as they came in.
That
shows the volatility of the overall geopolitical situation.
It
also shows that financial decisions and the related markets are now fully
connected all over the world. Early in the morning, well before the beginning
of the business day in Europe, people in London, Paris, Frankfurt, and
Luxembourg will get all the data from stock exchanges and analysts in Asia.
That gives then the trend for the day.
And
vice versa. Tomorrow morning, big guys in Hong Kong, Shanghai or Tokyo will
start their early hours by looking at the information coming during night from
the US. And that will influence their decision making.
It
is often the snake eating its own tail.
