Global markets difting along without much surprise

Global markets fared relatively quiet this week without much drama. We saw at the beginning of the trading week, Italian Government first shocked the markets with its deficit budget proposal, but it later toed in line within EU policy direction and markets reacted positively. Having said that, markets drifted along without much conviction as fear over US & China trade war heading towards uncharted water, and that US economy running the risk of over heating, clouded markets sentiments. Independent economic analyst and strategist, Dr Po Man Chan will highlight the potential risks lying ahead next week.
