Description

There is a disconnect between market performance and the headlines that dominate the news, says Philip Petursson, Chief Investment Strategist, IG Wealth Management. He highlights how, in the past year, the market has defied expectations in Europe, Israel and China, despite negative narratives. Philip emphasizes the importance of trading based on actual market conditions, rather than emotional reactions to news and politics.
