January closes with a bounce<\/a><\/h6>\n
Commentary & Opinion<\/a><\/p>\n
January was a pretty shocking month for global equities. But it managed to finish with a promising bounce as bulls took heart from the Bank of Japan’s (BoJ) surprise policy easing, along with optimism about the pace of US interest rate rises.
\n
\nThe more positive tone also coincided with a strong rally in oil prices. Brent rose 8% to a three-week high. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Japan pushes markets higher<\/a><\/h6>\n
Commentary & Opinion<\/a><\/p>\n
Markets have continued to rise during the past two weeks, driven by the landslide victory for Japan's ruling coalition in the Upper House election.
\nGains made in Europe, Australia and the US paled in comparison to the 9.2% jump in the Nikkei 225.
\nIt now seems likely Japan will roll out aggressive fiscal stimulus along with more quantitative easing to bolster growth and inflation. We doubt the Bank of Japan will directly finance a game-changing fiscal boost via "helicopter money" as some in the market are speculating.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
