Kevin Smith takes a look at some of the political issues that have contributed to mass protests in Hong Kong and the impact on the risk and return characteristics of the local equity market in the short and long-term.
We seem to be saying it all the time but what a way to start the week, from the potential for a vaccine by Moderna which prompted a solid rally across risk assets to some rather optimistic rhetoric coming from the rainmaker-in-chief, the Fed chairman, Jerome Powell.
