Global stock indexes retreated this week with few exceptions. Surprisingly, two noteworthy winners were Russia, and Mexico. Both, no matter how you look at it, are directly in the crosshairs of the Trump administration. They both improved from bearish to recovery phases.
The declines were led by China and other Asian markets.

Year to date returns are negative for most equity markets, as the tables highlight.
