The first quarter of 2007 was certainly an eventful one for the market including the forex financial futures market and markets. Global equity market continued the same pace of solid growth that was seen in the 2006 fiscal year of the futures and foreign exchange markets.
While this development certainly drew the attention of investors and financial foreign exchange analysts , it can be viewed best in a certain context and perception. Firstly , many of the world markets regained their financial footing shortly after the decline in values, signaling to many financial observers that there is strength left in the current bull markets. Secondly a drop in the Chinese financial and foreign currency ( forex) markets does not necessarily and of neccessity represent a drop in the economic health of the world global economy nor its financial insturments.
China’s stock market and currency valuations are in context still fairly small when compared to other major currency and stock markets and the for that reason the recent volatility is unlikely to impact the country’s manufacturing sector or its appetite for imported resources and raw materials. The changes were expected and should be seen in the light as a good thing in the direction towards financial and fiscal transpancy.
As well it is a matter of appreciation in the value of diversification. The ripple effect from China’s stock market and currency rule changes had a deep impact on some global geographic and an even deeper impact on others.
