S&W The Pulse

In this episode we discuss these very unusual market conditions and trying to provide some insight into what might happen from here.Global equities have fallen at a rapid pace since peaking in mid-February. It took just 19 days (on 12 March 2020) for the US S&P 500 index to enter an equity bear market (defined as a drawdown of more than 20%). This is the fastest on record from data going back over 100 years. We are in the midst of an unprecedented event for society and markets. This makes it difficult to give any short-term predictions with any certainty. These are difficult times, but we are encouraged by the scale of response by policymakers. *** Coronvavirus Hub link https://smithandwilliamson.com/en/insights-landing/covid-19-hub/?utm_source=simplecast&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=covid19  *** Head to our website to read the full episode show notes https://smithandwilliamson.com/en/insights-landing/sw-the-pulse/investment-show/rising-market-risks-from-the-coronavirus-outbreak-april-2020/ ***
