This week’s data insight – “The Importance of Staying Invested” – highlights how maintaining a long-term perspective during market volatility can significantly benefit investors. Following the escalation of trade tensions between the US and China, global financial markets experienced sharp declines, with indices recording their worst days since past crises. However, the announcement of a 90-day tariff pause sparked an extraordinary recovery, adding trillions back to market capitalizations.
Amid these dramatic shifts, the analysis underscores the value of staying invested, showcasing the growth potential of a €10,000 investment across various indices since 2000. Whether in the S&P 500, Eurostoxx50, or MSCI World Index, time and patience have yielded impressive returns, reinforcing the importance of resilience and long-term strategies in navigating unpredictable market environments.
