Markets pause for breath ahead of US/Russia talks

Friday was a mixed bag for Europe’s and America’s main indices, but they still saw gains on the week. The Munich Security Conference gained more attention than usual as the world awaits a solution for Ukraine. As of Friday it seemed that Ukraine and Europe would be left out of negotiations to end the war, but since then US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said that both Ukraine and Europe will be part of any ‘real negotiations’. In Asia, Japan’s GDP has risen a surprising 2.8% year-on-year, well above expectations, and China’s President Xi Jinping has met with Chinese entrepreneurs at a symposium, signalling his support of the private sector. Mensur Pocinci, Head of Technical Analysis, provides his perspective on China’s tech rally as well as his assessment on the Swiss franc.
