US and certain European indices are currently trading at or around all-time highs, supported by more accommodative monetary policy and central bank adjustments in the face of economic data continuing to point to a deceleration in global economic growth. The FTSE 100 is 8.4% higher than at the start of this year and, while investors still await a final resolution of the UK’s exit from the EU, the more domestically focused FTSE 250 similarly has performed strongly in 2019.
