FYI: Stocks around the world have staged one of the best-ever starts to a year, a synchronized rally that has only gained momentum following 2017’s sharp gains.
In the U.S., the S&P 500’s 7.5% rise in January is its biggest since 1987. In Asia, the Shanghai Composite has already surged 7.6%, surpassing last year’s gain. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index is up 11%, rising on all but two days this month. And in Europe, the German DAX and France’s CAC 40 are up 3.3% and 4.1%, respectively.
