INTERVIEW - "I don't want to advise against investing. But today we're basking in a pseudo-security": An honest conversation with two Wall Street professionals
Why are prices rising despite crises? Are the financial markets spinning out of control – or are we simply not understanding them? Stock exchange experts Jens Korte and Heike Buchter answer simple questions about a complicated world.
Financial experts Jens Korte and Heike Buchter, based in New York, discuss the current state of the stock market. Despite global economic uncertainty and trade conflicts, stock markets are reaching record highs, with indices like the S&P 500 and DAX at all-time highs.
