Global markets endured a torrid February as investors already pressured by uncertainty about the conflict in Ukraine struggled to guess how a toxic combination of persistently high inflation and stagnating growth would impact interconnected economies.
The FTSE Mondo Visione Index fell 3.5% in February, closing the month at 73,041.43 points, down from the January close of 75,676.81.

Exchange | Market Cap (USD bn) |
CME Group | 84.94 |
Intercontinental Exchange | 72.10 |
Hong Kong Exchanges & Clearing | 61.27 |
London Stock Exchange Group | 44.64 |
Deutsche Boerse | 31.48 |
Bolsa Mexicana de Valores SAB de CV was the best performer by capital returns in US dollars, with a 12.7 per cent increase in share price from 1 February 2022 to 28 February 2022.

Herbie Skeete, Managing Director, Mondo Visione and Co-founder of the Index said:
"At month-end, Russia's central bank closed the Moscow Stock Exchange with international sanctions imposed on Russia for its invasion of Ukraine making the country in the eyes of some analysts as 'increasingly uninvestable for global investors'"
