The OFR released today its latest Financial Markets Monitor. The monitor says prices of equities and other risky assets have declined markedly in 2016 due to concerns about global growth and low oil prices. Developments in China fueled market concerns about the effectiveness of Chinese economic policies, while oil oversupply pushed prices to the lowest levels in more than 10 years.
NOTE: After this issue, the Financial Markets Monitor will change to a quarterly schedule.
The monitor is posted on the OFR website at: https://financialresearch.gov/financial-markets-monitor/
