Brexit causes a recession… in the eurozone?

Before you investigate the real stories behind this week’s news with Nigel Farage, consider what’s really driving the stock market’s latest bull market.

The US’ S&P 500 was up more than 20% as of this month. But that masks the true nature of the rally. Only seven stocks are responsible for the gains. And six of them have one single factor in common — they stand to profit from the rollout of artificial intelligence (AI) into our everyday life.

Are you ready? Is your portfolio ready?

Here’s how to prepare (capital at risk).

Well, the consequences of Brexit have finally struck home. The eurozone is in recession while the UK has escaped the same fate, for now.
