Oliver Wallin's weekly video update

Oliver Wallin - 03 February 2012

It was another fairly upbeat week for global capital markets, as equities continued to make good progress. There appears to be a groundswell of optimism emerging, based on some recent encouraging economic news and the positive intervention from central banks, most notably the European Central Bank (ECB). This optimism is being further fuelled by the belief that equities have already ‘priced-in’ the bad news and that strategies such as the ECB’s emergency lending scheme, its Longer Term Refinancing Operation, has managed to remove some of the threats faced by European banks, and by extension has helped stabilise the European sovereign debt market.
