Staying Secure on the Global Stock Market Roller Coaster

30 Aug 2024

We all love a good roller coaster, but bumpy rides would certainly turn the stomach of investors worldwide⚡. Affected by a chorus of factors, the global market has experienced intense ups and downs recently. How do we hold tight in our seat and not give out to the dicey momentum💰?

💡1️ Seek cover in the turbulence: Traditional risk-averse instruments such as bonds, gold, Japanese Yen and Swiss Franc are all safe havens in a tumultuous market.

💡2️ Phase your buys and get in before the rise: There’s every chance the US stock market will see another shake-up, but imminent rate cuts and great profit potential from the tech sector remain highly attractive. One can mitigate risk and capture long-term opportunities with a phased buying strategy.

💡3️ Diversify to your advantage: Stocks have won massively in H1 while high-quality bonds sustain investment gains in recent months. Diversify your portfolio to benefit from the rapidly changing macro-environment.
