Top international stock news in a week at a glance

A stock exchange is a marketplace for buying and selling shares, bonds and securities. Stock exchanges can serve as a measure of the health of the national economy and can also be a key indicator of world economic strength. 

This is because the growth of the financial market equates to higher standards of living and employment rates. Here we look at the world's top news about stock exchanges and the stock market.

The top 5 news are given below:

3. Chances of recession: ETF investors prepare
 

While markets have spent the year staring down the barrel of seemingly inevitable recession, a recent shift in asset flows and returns suggests there is no consensus on

whether a slowdown will have dire consequences for investors or whether the worst has already been baked into valuations. Of course, a recession is not a foregone conclusion but one expected by a growing share of market participants.
 

According to Bank of America’s (BofA) latest fund manager survey, the number of respondents forecasting a recession is at its third-highest level in 15 years.

Even more uninspiring is the percentage of respondents expecting global profits to improve at its lowest monthly reading since the turn of the millennia.

4. Rep. Nancy Pelosi arrives in Singapore; no confirmation on Taiwan visit
 

US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is expected to visit Taiwan as part of her tour of Asia, according to a senior Taiwanese government official and a US official, despite warnings from Biden administration officials, who are worried about China's response to such a high-profile visit.

The first stop for a US House speaker in 25 years is not currently on Pelosi's public itinerary and comes at a time when US-China relations are already at a low point.
 

The Taiwanese official added that she is expected to stay in Taiwan overnight. It is unclear when exactly Pelosi will land in Taipei.

The US official added that Defense Department officials are working around the clock to monitor regional Chinese movements and secure a plan to keep her safe.

5. Recent market performance is a rally in a bear market, says UBS's Art Cashin
 

Art Cashin, UBS director of floor operations, joins 'TechCheck' to discuss the market's recent performance, what's been keeping this bear market rally alive, and more.
