Version 1.24 (2024-08-08 13:00:07.963000)

updates: The recent turbulence in global markets is attributed to the rally in the US dollar and the weaker-than-expected US employment report. Concerns about the US economy's soft landing and fears of a recession are fueling market volatility. The US is also seen as a source of political risk, with the possibility of former US president Donald Trump returning to the White House. The size of the US economy and capital markets, coupled with its safe haven status, make it the most worrying source of volatility in the global economy.
