“Foreign investors have increasingly shifted their investments to India from China in recent years, partly because of concerns over Beijing’s unpredictable policy moves and China’s sputtering economy.” The shift doesn’t necessarily shield them. “A recent clampdown on one of India’s biggest financial technology companies rattled investors and serves as a reminder that New Delhi can also make sudden moves with a hefty impact on companies and market value.”

“The U.S. economy is caught in an awkward, painful place. A confusing one, too. Growth appears to be sputtering, home sales are tumbling and economists warn of a potential recession ahead.

Europe is again sputtering, which is the “cost of ignoring Mario Draghi’s pleas for reforms.”  Quantitative easing “without accompanying policy reforms such as looser labor-market rules and liberalized product markets is losing traction fast.

By undercutting Japan’s devaluation, China might increase Abe’s urgency to boost competiveness, innovation and wages.”
