Carl Radford, a portfolio manager for Bluecrest Capital USA San Francisco, has worked for several financial firms such as Nomura International London and HSBC Bank Hong Kong. Possessing more than two decades of experience in the global financial markets, Carl Radford stays abreast of news in the global political spectrum to predict how changes will impact the financial markets.
While the financial markets are resilient and typically bounce back, they are not immune to changes stemming from political events happening around the world. The amount of impact caused by these changes varies from country to county, and that impact affects different financial operations. For instance, the financial markets took a large hit when the United Kingdom left the European Union, and the value of a country’s currency fluctuates depending on how much trust is placed in that country. Different elections also impact the markets depending on the rhetoric presented by the winning candidate. However, the bright side of these political changes is that they are often temporary. Major political events may decrease the strength of the financial markets for a few weeks or maybe a few months. But the markets always bounce back from a negative hit and return to normal. The opposite is also true. Political events that cause positive changes only cause this impact temporarily before the markets normalize once again.
