This has pleased the investment community via a weaker USD and April’s meeting being unlikely to result in another interest rate hike on account of global economic and financial market risks. On the flip side continued reference to such headwinds just reinforces the fact that the global economic recovery remains rather fragile and investors very short-sighted. All this as we gear up for what could prove a challenging first quarter earnings season stateside.
