While much of Wall Street's focus over past recent years has been on the AI hyperscalers, there are an increasing number of seismic developments happening internationally investors need to be aware of.
For example, as a basket, emerging market stocks have outperformed the S&P 500 this year.
And to name just a few others:
1) Japanese bond yields have surged to the highest levels in 20 years, threatening to put an end to the carry trade
2) A US-driven regime change in Venezuela looks imminent
3) China continues to fire its monetary and fiscal bazookas with gusto in attempt to pull itself out of its deep balance sheet recession
4) And in the wake of negotiating a tenuous peace between Isreal and Palestine, renewed efforts are underway to bring an end to the Russia/Ukraine war
Which international trends are the most important for investors to track? What are the biggest risks? And where are the biggest opportunities?
