Cliff Bounce: Russell Global Indexes Reflected Positive Returns on First Trading Day of 2013 for the Global Equity Markets
(firmenpresse) - SEATTLE, WA -- (Marketwire) -- 01/04/13 -- European equity markets showed positive returns on Wednesday, January 2nd 2013 as reflected by the Russell Eurozone Index, the day after U.S. Congress passed a resolution to avert the so-called "fiscal cliff." The Russell Eurozone Index reflected a daily return of 2.4%, led by country constituents Greece (3.8%), Finland (3.8%) and Italy (3.6%).
Other world equity markets also performed strongly Wednesday, with positive returns for the Russell U.S. large-cap Russell 1000® Index, U.S. small-cap Russell 2000® Index, Russell Greater China Index and Russell Emerging Markets Index. This follows positive returns for these indexes in 2012.
"By forging a last minute deal to mitigate much of the immediate impact of the fiscal cliff, the White House, Senate, and the Republican-controlled House of Representatives addressed the first (but by no means only) policy challenge in 2013 -- and the short-term reaction has been a rally in global risk assets as shown by the indexes to begin the year," said Stephen Wood, Chief Market Strategist for Russell Investments. "An 'all clear sign' is premature as unresolved fiscal issues in the U.S. as well as Europe will keep uncertainty alive in the coming months. As a consequence, we expect to see ongoing volatility and a 'risk-on/risk-off' investment environment globally, which may increase the need for a dynamic, multi-asset portfolio approach."
