The equity market has faced bouts of volatility since the year
began, and the sell-off over the last several days has brought
the S&P 500 back into correction territory (down ~10%
from the January 3 record high). For US investors, it may be
difficult to understand why equities have struggled given
the resiliency of the US economy (e.g., Leading Economic
Indicators index at a peak level, strong job creation,
unprecedented savings) and with 1Q22 earnings season
off to a strong start. However, given the integration and
globalization of world economies and markets, investors
cannot ignore what is going on beyond our borders—
because that is what is having an overriding impact on our
markets. Below we discuss how international dynamics are
weighing on our markets.
