The first two weeks in February set hearts racing, and unfortunately it had nothing to do with Valentine’s Day. Between the 26th January and 9th February 2018, global equity markets had fallen 10%. However, by month end, the MSCI World Index, which tracks the performance of global shares, had recovered most of its losses ending down – 4.3% in February.
