This year samba and tango will be danced on the Stock Exchange. During 2016, the Brazilian stock exchange (Bovespa) and the Argentine stock exchange (Merval) clearly lead the yield rankings with increases of 24,3% in the case of the Bovespa and 17,4% in the case of the Buenos Aires listing.
The Asian Stock Exchanges, on the other hand, are the worst so far: the Shanghai Official B index has lost 13,6% since the beginning of the year and the Tokyo Topix is down 13,3%.
Among the worst in the world this year is also that of Milan: the FtseMib, the index that collects the blue chips of the Italian Stock Exchange, has lost 13,1% since the beginning of the year and is the worst in Europe . Although still in the red, the stock exchanges of Frankfurt (-6,5%), Paris (-5,3%), London (-0,5%), Madrid (-8,3%) and Zurich (-9,7%) are doing much better -XNUMX%).
In 2016, the European stock exchanges are located halfway between the worst (Asian) and best (South American) lists and are performing worse than the American stock exchanges, which are in a recovery phase and are after the first four months of the year around at parity (Dow Jones +0,4% and S&P 500 – 0,3%) even if the Nasdaq still loses 6%.
