Global equity markets staged a remarkable recovery from the panic at the start of last week, while government bonds and gold acted as effective hedges during the market turmoil.

Mensur Pocinci, Head of Technical Analysis Research, notes that after last week's turmoil, investors are likely to be over-pricing short-term risks, which is traditionally a promising sign for equity markets.
