Why are Oil Stocks Falling Behind Oil Prices?

(September 10, 2021) Oil prices demonstrated significant growth in 2021, reaching pre-COVID levels as a result of positive expectations about economic recovery. For the same reason, oil stocks also demonstrated strong growth this year, but not to the same extent; the financial results of a number of the world's top oil companies are still not where they were in the pre-COVID-19 period, and energy sector exchange-traded fund prices have yet to reach 2019 levels. A number of factors are preventing oil stocks from keeping up with oil prices.Oil prices rose mostly due to rising costs, not to increased margin. For example, ocean freight rates increased fourfold over the last year. The deficit in the oil market, supported by supply restrictions by OPEC, is expected to turn to a surplus since an agreement to remove all oil and shipping sanctions has been achieved between Iran and the US. The oil sector, like that of other commodities, is pro-cyclical, meaning that it grows when the economy expands as indicated by growing inflation. This is what we saw this summer when US inflation was at its peak. However, the market expects inflation growth to cool down, resulting in the oil sector losing its short-term rising power. Developed countries are making a gradual transition to a green economy. The data on electricity installed capacity demonstrates a growing share of renewable energy in all regions, excluding OPEC. BP forecasts declining oil consumption and growing renewable energy consumption in all scenarios by 2050. OPEC in its forecast predicts that oil demand will start declining in 2040.

US Media Companies Have Lost $400bn in Market Value //pt.knoema.com/difcfsf/us-media-companies-have-lost-400bn-in-market-value 2022-08-04T10:33:54Z Misha Gusev pt.knoema.com://pt.knoema.com/user/1000560
US Media Companies Have Lost $400bn in Market Value

According to FT estimates the largest US media companies have lost nearly $400bn in market value this year. Big US media stocks have fallen on average by 40 per cent since the start of the year, compared with a 13 per cent decline in the S&P 500 index. The stock prices of the largest media groups have halved on average from all-time highs reached during the coronavirus pandemic. Below are the key factors putting downward pressure on market capitalisation of media groups.As the world recovers from the pandemic consumers are spending more time outside and less time at home watching their screens.Soaring inflation and raising interest rates force households to spend less on entertainment.Advertising,  that constitutes an essential proportion of media groups' revenue, is slowing down as businesses cut their spending.

U.S. Needs More Debt to Sustain Growth //pt.knoema.com/nkzfxg/u-s-needs-more-debt-to-sustain-growth 2021-10-13T09:30:27Z Misha Gusev pt.knoema.com://pt.knoema.com/user/1000560
U.S. Needs More Debt to Sustain Growth

(07 October 2021) At the end of June of 2021, the U.S. government hit the public debt ceiling of $28.4 trillion. According to U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen's estimates, under the existing debt limit the U.S. government will have to stop paying on its obligations such as social security programs, salaries and interest payments on treasury securities on October 18.Prolonged debates and lack of consensus in the U.S. Congress on the debt limit led to a stock market decline through September, on the expectation that government spending cuts to sustain the debt level amid high inflation will inevitably lead to an economic downturn.This week, Democrats and Republicans agreed to extend the public debt ceiling until December 3 and allow the US government to borrow an additional $480 billion.

Major Fiat Currencies Can't Compete With Gold //pt.knoema.com/jrbpvod/major-fiat-currencies-can-t-compete-with-gold 2021-08-04T10:34:12Z Misha Gusev pt.knoema.com://pt.knoema.com/user/1000560
Major Fiat Currencies Can't Compete With Gold

(13 July 2021) In 1971, to prevent inflation-induced outflow of gold from the country, US President Richard Nixon ended the convertibility of US dollars to gold at a fixed exchange rate.This decision, which was followed by similar measures in other countries, ended the post-World War II period during which the value of national currencies remained unchanged relative to the value of gold. The decades of post-Gold Standard history show that none of major fiat currencies have been able to maintain their purchasing power against gold in the long run.The major currencies lost from 78% (Swiss franc, Japanese yen) to 98% (Indian rupee, Indonesian rupiah) of their value relative to gold between 1979 and 2021. Limited supply of gold, and the further constraint of the slow growth of gold mine production, protect gold from inflation, as opposed to the often emission-based increase in the paper money supply.In recession and recovery periods, gold outperforms not only individual currencies but also other asset prices. For example, during the great recession and recovery (a period between Q1 2008 and Q1 2010 which saw the decline and recovery of global GDP), the price of gold increased 35% compared to its pre-crisis level in Q4 2007. Prices for other assets — stocks, homes, and commodities — declined by 29%, 12% and 7% respectively.  The same pattern has repeated during the COVID crisis: by Q1 2021* gold gained 26% compared to Q4 2019, outperforming other assets. *the most recent period for which data is available for all asset categories. Global GDP is expected to recover to Q4 2019 level in Q2-Q3 2021. Note: Aggregate asset prices shown below are the GDP weighted averages of asset benchmark indices for UK, Germany, France, Japan, and the US. Asset price indices for individual countries other than the US were converted to equivalent US dollars for the purpose of comparison.

Tourism Industry COVID Risk Scoreboard: Travel & Tourism Held Hostage by Coronavirus //pt.knoema.com/ymomxcd/tourism-industry-covid-risk-scoreboard-travel-tourism-held-hostage-by-coronavirus 2021-07-08T11:41:13Z Misha Gusev pt.knoema.com://pt.knoema.com/user/1000560
Tourism Industry COVID Risk Scoreboard: Travel & Tourism Held Hostage by Coronavirus

(2 July 2021) Though travel and tourism stocks recovered to a pre-crisis level by the end of 2020, financial statement data shows that the COVID-19 pandemic continues to have a strong negative impact on the revenues of companies in the tourism industry. In Q1 2021, sales of Booking Holdings Inc., Expedia Inc. and TripAdvisor Inc. were down 60-65% compared to the same quarter a year ago. This and other data on the pandemic points to a subdued and protracted recovery for the tourism sector. The shape of that recovery will depend largely on what happens with COVID-19. In this dashboard we have put together pandemic-related statistics for 48 countries that account for more than 70% of world tourism arrivals and departures as a resource to help users to estimate the impact of COVID-19 on international tourism flows.The fourth global wave of the pandemic ended in June of 2021, but as the Delta variant of virus spreads around the glob the number of new COVID-19 cases recently began to rise again in Europe, North America and Africa. Lack of effective political leadership has hampered efforts to halt the pandemic in Latin America. As of June 29, the number of new COVID-19 cases was higher than it had been a week earlier in 28 out of the 48 countries covered in this dashboard. The upsurges in COVID-19 cases in Dec. 2020 through Jan. 2021 and the spring of 2021 correlated with a downturn in travel and tourism stocks. The stringency of international travel restrictions designed to combat the spread of disease remains at a high level in 36 out of the 48 countries. In six countries borders are closed for international travel, and 30 countries have bans on travel to/from high-risk regions. Other countries put arrivals from high-risk regions in quarantine or use screening.Developed countries are significantly ahead of the developing world in vaccination progress. Nevertheless, only few developed countries are close to reaching herd immunity (meaning 70% of population has been vaccinated or developed antibodies). In 16 out of the 48 countries, the number of vaccinations per hundred population is still lower than 40 — the level that seems to be required to subdue the spread of the pandemic to less than 100 new daily cases per million population per day.

Forbes | Valuation of Major League Sport Teams Outperformed Equity Markets //pt.knoema.com/ncvsbs/forbes-valuation-of-major-league-sport-teams-outperformed-equity-markets 2021-05-06T11:57:40Z Misha Gusev pt.knoema.com://pt.knoema.com/user/1000560
Forbes | Valuation of Major League Sport Teams Outperformed Equity Markets

(30 April 2021) According to the average team value estimates by Forbes, the valuation of sport teams in the "big three" major leagues — the NFL, MLB, and NBA — increased 5% in 2020, despite the attendance bans on many live sporting events and economic disruption caused by COVID-19. Over the last decade, the valuation of the three major leagues has increased by almost four times, outperforming the returns on the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average stock indices by 25% and 42%, respectively.  Experts identify television contracts as the biggest reason for the increase in major leagues sports team valuation in the 2010s. The beginning of the 2020s may be no less successful for the leagues, with growth facilitated by the ongoing adoption of legal sports betting in the US and cooperation between sports leagues and gambling operators.

IPR Strategies | Patents as a Leading Indicator of Company's Market Performance //pt.knoema.com/dogpphg/ipr-strategies-patents-as-a-leading-indicator-of-company-s-market-performance 2021-04-23T09:15:04Z Nikolai Kuznetsov pt.knoema.com://pt.knoema.com/user/6481950
IPR Strategies | Patents as a Leading Indicator of Company's Market Performance

(17 March 2020) By the time a commercial product is launched on the market, it has already been patented for several years. Since innovative companies are more successful in the market, patent data can be a key indicator of innovation activity and therefore of market performance. According to IPR Strategies, patent shares perform better than an index. Analyses of equal-weighted MSCI World Index shares overall compared with Patent shares (the top 30%, by patent leverage, of MSCI World Index shares with significant patent value) have shown that using patent data generates significant added value for share selection. IPR Strategies' patent data can also provide indicators of changing ESG performance, helping to reveal companies’ ability to offer sustainable products and technologies in the future. The MSCI ESG ratings measure resilience to long-term, industry material environmental, social and governance (ESG) risks. Approximately 36% of all listed companies own ESG-related patents. Surprisingly, ESG-related patents’ average value is higher than that of patents overall; it is also increasing, in contrast to the value of non-sustainable patents. The scoring of sustainable patents can also be broken down according to individual UN SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals).

Cryptocurrency: "The Digital Tulip"? //pt.knoema.com/vwqbwsd/cryptocurrency-the-digital-tulip 2021-02-25T10:30:05Z Misha Gusev pt.knoema.com://pt.knoema.com/user/1000560
Cryptocurrency: "The Digital Tulip"?

(22 February 2021) During the last five months, the price of Bitcoin increased more than five times - from $10,000 to over $50,000 while the global cryptocurrency market capitalization topped $1.7 trillion. When it comes to traditional assets, such a rapid rise in the value of an asset typically indicates the emergence of a financial bubble. But, what about cryptocurrencies?Against the tsunami of cryptocurrencies' market capitalization increase, financial bubbles of the past look like small and mid-size waves, historically adding 40 to 440 percent to the asset value. The value of global cryptocurrency markets increased almost 900% from March 2020 to today.When do bubbles usually reach their peaks? In looking at past bubbles,  the longest time period is four years with an elongated period experienced by the real assets markets. If the cryptocurrency bubble is compared with digital asset bubbles, like the Dotcom and Biotech bubbles, it may peak 13-21 months after the bubble started to blow or between March and December 2021. Is this time different? Well, we don't know the answer. Since the famous "tulip mania" bubble in 1636-37 economists have not yet found reliable tools for forecasting bubbles. Super-easy monetary policy and expansionary fiscal policies in the US and around the world coupled with the accessibility of financial instruments and stock exchanges for a wide range of non-professional investors may make this "digital tulip" bubble different than bubbles of the past. These factors make it more difficult to predict how much the peak value of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies can exceed their fundamental price levels defined by the cost of coin mining and infrastructure maintenance.

Quiver Quantitative | WallStreetBets and Market Dynamics //pt.knoema.com/amovfzb/quiver-quantitative-wallstreetbets-and-market-dynamics 2021-02-11T09:09:20Z Misha Gusev pt.knoema.com://pt.knoema.com/user/1000560
Quiver Quantitative | WallStreetBets and Market Dynamics

(9 February 2021) In 2020, retail-investor representation in the stock market surged by 4.7% to a record 19.6%. Spurred by zero-commission trading and COVID tailwinds, this booming segment of stock market traders has reshaped market behavior. As a result, forums for financial discussion and inspiration have exploded in growth as well. WallStreetBets (r/WSB) is one of the most popular among these forums, with over 1.65 million followers as of January 15, 2020.  To investigate the relationship between WallStreetBets discussions and market activity at a stock-level, Quiver Quantitative has started scraping discussions on WallStreetBets and tracking how often different tickers are mentioned each day. Examples of GameStop Corp. and Advanced Micro Devices, which were among the most popular on r/WSB in recent weeks, can help to determine if there is a correlation between r/WSB discussions and share price. GameStop Corp. has experienced financial stress in recent years as the retail trends that had worked in its favor continue to decline globally. The company's total liabilities climbed 12.18% to $2.26bn from 2Q20 to 3Q20. Before May 5, 2020, r/WSB activity on GME had been dormant averaging 3.83 counts daily YTD. Shortly following this, several threads on r/WSB began to speculate on a GME recovery due to increased gaming activity and a large existing short position of 57 million shares. r/WSB counts would be amplified after an investment from activist investors and founder of Chewy (NYSE: CHWY), Ryan Cohen. Since May 5, 2020, GME has rallied 755.33% and the r/WSB discussion counts have averaged 55.34/day, a positive correlation coefficient at 0.688. In the early days of 1Q 2021, Advanced Micro Devices surpassed long-time competitor Intel in desktop CPU sales in addition to reporting record revenue of $2.8bn in 3Q20, representing 164% of growth from the same period five years ago. These factors have been reflected in the company's valuation as the stock hit a 52-week high of 99.23 on January 11, 2021. A comparison of r/WSB discussion counts and share price movements shows insignificant and for some periods even negative correlation. This occurred because once a stock reached a high enough market valuation the influence r/WSJ has on its price is reduced because it is weighted more. While there is no universal method of identifying actionable insights when analyzing r/WSB, discussions on the forum can serve as useful estimations of retail interest. Companies that have had exponential growth with help from forums such as r/WSBs are more likely to transition to an organic growth phase with more institutional investors and less volume. Keeping an eye on rising companies on r/WSBs could help identify overlooked market opportunities.

Energy Transition in Action: US Stock Market has Chosen the Green Path //pt.knoema.com/xkpcpee/energy-transition-in-action-us-stock-market-has-chosen-the-green-path 2020-12-17T15:08:09Z Misha Gusev pt.knoema.com://pt.knoema.com/user/1000560
Energy Transition in Action: US Stock Market has Chosen the Green Path

(2 November 2020) Contrary to reasoned arguments of those who believe that the peak of oil demand is still far ahead even as the likes of bp expect we'll never again return to pre-COVID global oil demand levels, the US stock market has already chosen the green path. For the first time ever, the market value of a primary producer of renewable energy has surpassed that of oil majors. On October 7, 2020, the market value of the world's largest producer of wind and solar energy—Nextera Energy—topped US oil majors Exxon Mobil and Chevron. One day before US election day, the market capitalisation of Nextera Energy amounted to $143 billion, compared to capitalization of $138 billion and $134 billion, respectively, for Exxon and Chevron.The data shows that for the past decade long-term investment in fossil fuels tends toward losses rather than profits. Every dollar invested in fossil fuels assets in the best case preserves its nominal value, while each dollar invested in renewables, such as Nextera, ten years ago today would yield almost six dollars.

Stock Market Exuberance Over COVID-19 Vaccine? //pt.knoema.com/izgernf/stock-market-exuberance-over-covid-19-vaccine 2020-12-15T09:10:55Z Nikolai Kuznetsov pt.knoema.com://pt.knoema.com/user/6481950
Stock Market Exuberance Over COVID-19 Vaccine?

(8 December 2020) Stock prices of COVID-19 vaccine developers have remained strong, with some exceptional outliers, as the world gets closer to the release of a vaccine against the virus. Fast becoming household names, Moderna, Novavax, Cansino, and Bharat, among other pharma companies, have demonstrated strong growth compared to December 2019 growing in the range of 260-2,100 percent compared to general S&P growth of 18%. So, where are we at in the vaccine race? As of December 8, 13 COVID-19 candidate vaccines had reached the final (3rd) clinical phase of development, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Of those in the final stage, China (5) and the United States (3) have the most in play; the remaining five are under development in Belgium, India, Russia, Canada, and the United Kingdom.Usually, before undergoing human clinical trials, a candidate vaccine must go through two initial phases. COVID-19 is of course different. To expedite the development of a vaccine, governments may authorize companies to skip phases, as did Pfizer and Moderna (USA), Sputnik, and five others that are now in the final phase. Six developers skipped the 2nd phase, and three developers in China and one in India skipped both phases one and two. The Milken Institute offers additional data beyond what is published regularly by the WHO. Milken tracks information about the regulatory review after the 3rd clinical phase as well as preclinical reviews in addition to cataloging treatments in development.

Dow Jones Industrial Average Historical Prices, 2007-2020

Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) along with S&P 500 and NASDAQ Composite indices is one of the most widely quoted benchmark indices in the world which is considered to be a barometer of the US economic status. The index tracks the performance of 30 large publicly traded companies (or blue chips) based in the United States using price-weighted average metric. Companies, included in the index are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and NASDAQ. Only stocks of companies which has the excellent reputation, demonstrate sustained growth and are of interest to a large number of investors are added into the index. The "Industrial" portion of name reflects the initial composition of the index, that was originally founded to gauge the performance of the industrial sector within the American economy. Since its foundation, index composition changed 51 times and nowadays most of its components are not related with traditional heavy industry while covering all economic sectors except transportation and utilities. However some companies, like General Electric, ExxonMobil or Procter & Gamble remain unchanged elements of the index for decades. Currently DJIA includes such well-known international companies as Apple, Microsoft, McDonald's, Coca-Cola, Walt Disney and others. Due to the global nature of business of its components, Dow Jones Industrial Average is influenced by foreign political events, natural disasters and other international factors what makes it an indicator of world economy health. The base value of the Dow Jones Industrial Average of 40.94 was firstly calculated on May 26, 1896 by Charles Dow. Historical maximum of 18312.39 was reached on May 19, 2015, while all-time low of 41.2 was recorded in July of 1932, at the time of Great Depression. The most recent considerable fall of the index occurred during the Global Financial Crisis of 2008-2009 that started on September, 2008 with the immediate loss of 300 points, and ended-up on March 9, 2009 at a new 12-year low of 6,547.05.

Tech Stocks Shining as Brightly as Gold as COVID-19 Accelerates the Digital Transformation

(14 July 2020)  COVID-19 borne restrictions on in-person engagement have boosted demand for digital products and services globally.  As a result, the already rapid pace digital transformation we've experienced over the last decade is accelerating further as reflected in tech stock price movements in recent months.For tech giants, the drastic shifts triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated recession have offered advantages. All have rock-solid balance sheets and vast global user bases.About a month ago, Apple and Microsoft became the first corporations with capitalization in excess of $1.5 trillion, and the capitalization growth for these and other technological giants seems poised for continued strong growth.Since the beginning of February, tech stocks (represented by NASDAQ Composite index) and gold futures also demonstrated similar growth. Gold futures were less volatile over this period, but, on net, the stock prices of tech giants outperformed gold.

Fraud Factors | Where were the (warning) signs? //pt.knoema.com/nacqsjf/fraud-factors-where-were-the-warning-signs 2020-10-30T07:43:27Z Misha Gusev pt.knoema.com://pt.knoema.com/user/1000560
Fraud Factors | Where were the (warning) signs?

(20 October 2020)  When fraud occurs, we intuitively look back to see where the red flags were. Here, we look at two data sets (Similarity Index and Non-Timely Filings) that should have prompted further investigation by investors in the company Iconix Brand Group (ICON). The Similarity Index quantifies the textual differences between sections in a given company's annual filings. In the example below, Fraud Factors extracted the text within the Legal Section of the Iconix Brand Group (ICON) annual (10-K) and calculated how it differed year on year.In general, a score of 1 means there was no change to the text, and a low score approaching zero suggests substantial changes. Intuitively, sections within a 10-K, such as legal and risks, do not change significantly unless driven by substantive underlying risks, whether firm specific or industry wide. Hence, a low similarity score, while not a red flag in and of itself, necessitates investigation by analysts in bottom-up firms and is a factor to be considered within quantitative models. Back to the example below of Iconix Brand Group, the similarity score for the legal section plunged in March 2015, preceding a steep dive in share prices. The low similarity score was driven by wholesale deletions of ongoing legal proceedings. Within a month, the CFO resigned, and the COO shortly after that. In hindsight, the removal of the legal proceedings disclosure was part of a larger pattern of obfuscation of an ongoing fraud, which was ultimately uncovered by the US Securities Exchange Commission (SEC), which subsequently charged various ICON executives with accounting fraud. ICON went from a market cap of ~$4 billion to a microcap (sub $10m) today. There were other warnings signs. Overlaying the chart below with Non-Timely Filings made to the SEC, we observe 3 of such filings before stock prices finally cratered in late 2017. As background, a Non-Timely Filings is filed when a firm is unable to publish its annual or quarterly report within the time stipulated by regulations. In the case of ICON, the inability to fulfil its filings obligations could have flowed naturally from the departures of key appointment holders, but importantly, it also suggested some level of difficulty, both within the firm and with its auditor, to get its financial statements straight.   Fraud Factors provides updated Similarity Index on a daily basis, and Non-Timely Filings on a real-time basis for all US entities.

Gold Futures Suffer as Russia Approves COVID-19 Vaccine

(25 August 2020) The relentless rally in gold prices finally come to halt as Russia announced on 11 August the launch of the world's first COVID-19 vaccine and created space for hope that an accelerated economic recovery could be on the horizon. Despite skepticism that seems to be prevailing among the health experts around the world (given that the rush to bring a market vaccine precluded the typical full cycle of trials), the news had a bearish affect on gold futures, pushing prices as low as $1,946 per ounce on 11 August from $2,039 per ounce one day earlier. Gold futures have been volatile since, oscillating more or less within the 10-11 August price band during the two-week period since the announcement.But, sanctuary in gold has given way to strengthening US Treasury yields, with both 5-year and 10-year yields trending upward since the vaccine announcement.

Performance of S&P 500

The S&P 500 Index (formerly Standard & Poor's 500 Index) is a market-capitalization-weighted index of the 500 largest U.S. publicly traded companies by market value. The index is widely regarded as the best single gauge of large-cap U.S. equities. The S&P 500 is often the institutional investor's preferred index given its depth and breadth, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average has historically been associated with the retail investor's gauge of the U.S. stock market. Institutional investors perceive the S&P 500 as more representative of U.S. equity markets because it comprises more stocks across all sectors (500 versus the Dow's 30 Industrials).

Markets suffer from Brexit

Markets have suffered a rough few days. Following Britain’s stunning vote to leave the European Union, investors around the world revolted by dumping sterling and other assets tied to the British economy and piling into traditional safe-havens such as gold and the Japanese yen.

S-and-P 500 Index Historical Prices 1985-2016

Standard & Poor's 500 Index (or S&P 500) is market index considered by many as one of the best gauges of the U.S. equity market and U.S. economy as a whole. The index includes 500 leading large-cap companies from leading sectors of the american economy covering 80% of all available market capitalization. To enter the index, company should meet the following membership eligibility criteria: market capitalization should be US$ 5.3 billion or more; company's shares should demonstrate adequate liquidity and be reasonably priced; most recent quarter's earnings as well as their sum for the last four quarters should be positive; public float should constitute at least 50% of the stock; company should have operationally justifiable financial leverage. Currently, one fifths of index constituents belong to information and technology sector. Among top-10 companies by index weight there are such giants as Apple, Microsoft and ExxonMobil. S&P 500 unlike Dow Jones Industrial Average is not price-weighed but market cap weighted. Historically, it was the first market index calculated on the basis of this methodology. Under this approach, the index value at any given point in time represents the quotient of the total float adjusted market capitalization of the index components and its divisor, which is adjusted for all changes in the share capital of constituents. Only shares that are in free-float are considered in index calculation. S&P 500 was launched on March 4, 1957 by S&P Dow Jones Indices. The base value of the index is 10 and the base date is 1941-1943. Looking at the recent historical performance of the index two distinct spikes hit the eye. The first one corresponds to the period of dot-com bubble during which S&P 500 reached the point of 1527.46 on March 24, 2000 that was not exceeded for seven years and then dropped to 776.76 in the next 2 years. The second all-time high of 1565.15 was achieved on October 9, 2007 after which the index fell as a result of subprime mortgage crisis and then continued to decline in early 2009 denoting the end phase of global financial crisis of 2008. Then index started to gradually recover and on March 14, 2013 it closed above the previous all-time high of 2007.

Black Monday: Global Markets Snapshot

On Monday (24 August), global financial markets suffered heavy losses. Markets started to show weakness earlier this summer, weighed down by concerns about a slowdown of China's economy and fears of economic contagion from a potential Greek exit. On Monday morning, Chinese government efforts to inject liquidity to support the tumbling market failed. China's Shanghai Composite Stock Index closed the trading session with a record 8.5 percent loss, erasing all gains made since the start of the year. European stocks, commodities, and emerging markets were all quick to follow the Shanghai Index's lead. The free fall was aggravated by investors' "flight to quality" and repositioning of carry-trades for major and liquid currencies like the euro and the yen. Unlike in previous years, the decline of risk assets was accompanied by the growth of such currencies as euro, British pound and Swiss franc and the depreciation of US dollar. The US S&P 500 Stock Index tumbled 3.94 percent on Monday to close at 1893.2 points, the lowest level since November 2014 and the largest single-day and 5-day decline since 2011. Now the main question is: will the market plunge be short-lived or will the markets continue a longer-term decline? Global economy growth is still tenuous for some and markedly slowly for others, feeding concerns for continued decline. According to implied probabilities based on the Fed Funds futures prices, markets have begun pricing out chances that the US Federal Reserve will proceed with a short-term interest rate increase next month, helping at least temporarily boost other major currencies.That said, a weaker US dollar will not necessarily lead to an immediate and substantial return to higher risk assets and a return to more stable market growth.

World markets and currencies performance, 2014

     2014 was a challenging year for world markets and for world currencies too. Almost every currency in the world was devalued (more or less) compared to US dollar. Russian ruble (-42%) and Ukraine hryvnia (-47.5%) became "champions" (due to political conflict between those states). UK Pound Sterling and Pakistani Rupee were the strongest. Among the developed markets US was the best (+12.8% price return year-to-date). European markets were, mainly, disappointing (in USD terms, at least). In the emerging world Bangladesh, Egypt, Indonesia, Philippines, Kenya, India, Argentina and some other markets showed exciting 2-digits growth. The worst was, again, Russia (45% loss but in USD terms only). World stock markets 2014 performance (measured by MSCI family of indexes to make things comparable) in USD and local currencies, and currencies performance relative to USD.
