Global stock exchanges have experienced a roller coaster ride as fears of a US recession triggered a global sell-off, which has gradually been reversed. The AIM All-Share declined by 0.6% over the week to 766.48, while the FTSE 100 appears poised to end the tumultuous five-day period roughly where it began.
In the UK, the FTSE 100 demonstrated its defensive nature this week, with declines being quickly bought into. Surprisingly, none of the FTSE 100 stocks are more than 10% lower than they were a week ago, and over half have risen in the past five days.
