European Stocks Shine Despite War in Ukraine

Chief Global Investment Strategist Peter Berezin provided his insights on the Eurozone market in this Morningstar article, published on Feb. 17, 2023: "The eurozone market...has been buoyed by the success of navigating through numerous crises created by the conflict, including reducing its reliance on Russian natural gas and investing in its own energy infrastructure, says Peter Berezin, chief global strategist at BCA Research, a Montreal-based independent provider of global investment research. That’s created a “sense of optimism,” as has improved economic data, strengthening manufacturing and services numbers, and positive consumer sentiment." “It’s good news for Europe and global markets,” says Berezin. "...BCA’s Berezin expects the Russia-Ukraine “conflict will persist” and that could create “various tail risks” for countries already coping with high inflation."
