GEOPOLITKA OPÄTOVNE ZNEPOKOJUJE RESPONDENTOV Index ekonomického sentimentu v januári mierne poskočil, a to o 14b na -45b. Za zlepšením indexu stojí nárast respondentov, ktorí neočakávajú výraznejšiu zmenu v ekonomickej aktivite Slovenska. Medzi hlavné faktory očakávaného spomalenia respondenti zaradili reštriktívnu fiškálnu politika (62%), spomalenie zahraničného dopytu (59%), pokles politickej stability (59%) a opäť aj eskaláciu geopolitického napätia (59%). V prípade očakávaného zrýchlenia respondenti najčastejšie uviedli rast zahraničného dopytu (16%). Aktuálny vývoj domácej ekonomiky je tiež vnímaný negatívne, index narástol o 7b na -66b.

用「複雜系統」視角重新理解風險與投資

當市場不再照模式走　用「複雜系統」視角重新理解風險與投資 CFA Institute Research & Policy Center 研究報告「Reframing Financial Markets as Complex Systems」，報告導讀。撰文/王傳文愈來愈多投資人與決策者開始疑惑：為何過去在書中被視為分析基礎的金融模型，似乎愈來愈難以解釋真實世界發生的事？當市場波動不斷加劇、彼此連動的程度也持續升高，一個單一事件，往往就能在極短時間內引發全球震盪。從歷次金融危機、科技股泡沫，到近年頻繁的極端市場波動，都反映出這樣的現實。這份以「金融市場為複雜系統」為核心的研究報告，正是在這樣的背景下誕生。它不是要否定既有金融理論，而是讓我們換一個角度，重新理解市場如何運作、風險從何而來，以及未來該如何因應。試圖為投資與風險分析提供一條全新的思考路徑。從市場波動　看見「系統如何運作」我們暫時跳脫「市場終將回到均衡」的假設，重新思考市場其實是一個由無數互動關係、回饋機制與行為選擇所組成的動態系統。所以「小衝擊」可能引發「大崩潰」，這並非單一事件造成，而是隱藏在市場之間錯綜複雜的連結之中。當透過複雜系統的視角來看，這些現象不再是意外，而是可以被理解、分析，甚至變得有跡可循。為投資人與風險管理打造的市場思維 ...
