1. Geopolitics
had cast a shadow on markets the previous year. 2018 offered a reminder that
geopolitics is of great importance and the analysis highlighted a lot of trade
tensions.
2. The
BlackRock Geopolitical Risk Dashboard has helped analyze the market impact and
likelihood of several geopolitical risks and has clarified that the
geopolitical risk is marginally higher than ever. The analysis also suggests
that geopolitical risks are posing material risks to markets and it looks like
the situation will not change in the future.
3. As
is clear by the BlackRock Geopolitical Risk Indicators, if the market’s
attention to geopolitical risks is low, then the market impact will be
significantly high and long-lasting. The chance is that the United States and
China will push other countries behind the competition. Similarly, tensions
between Pakistan and Indian have risen in recent months, which is a big threat
to the economy of the two countries.
Is any other country ready to join the race
in order to defeat the United States of America and China?
