It seems that a lot of people, such as investors, individual traders, market experts and columnist have been waiting for a new periodic crisis of the markets. Actually, we could see a "rotation" in terms of money which may flow out from the stock markets. In particular, technology stocks have been on a all time high for a long time, thanks to the sharp development of networks and nodes both related to the world's system on transactions.
Unfortunately, there are also some geopolitical uncertainties in the Eastern emisphere which may affect the markets:
- Saudi Arabia leadership accepts to partially normalise relation with Israel in exchange for an alliance against Iran.
- Rohinjy people are still brutally oppressed while the developed world holds its inaction in the face of genocide and example of ethnic cleasing.
- The EU has been cutting funds allocated to Turkey due to the deteriorating situation in terms of democracy, rule of law and human rights.
- U.S. President is considering recognising Jerusalem as capital of Israel, although 330,000 Palestinians, who make up 37 percent of the city's population, have been living there since Israel captured and annexed the Eastern Sector.
- Conflicts in Yemen and Syria haven't still gone to an end.
- Sale of weapons to Saudi Arabia, Myanmar and Iran has increased sharply since 2016.
It seems that there is a relationship between the rise of stock markets and the frenetic and uncontrolled sale of weapons and munitions in the Asian continent.
In addition to this, China and Russia call on U.S. to reduce military exercises in East Asia Region of the World. In particular, Russia foreign minister have questioned U.S. tactics on East Asia, considering the U.S. secretary of state pushes diplomatic options on North Korea.
In this perspective, while secretary of State Tillerson was consistently calling for dialogue, Trump responded to North Korea missile tests with insults on Twitter ... He called Kim Jong "Little rocket man" and "Sick puppy".
