According to this indicator, 2018 remains the worst in history

Heavens? What heavens?

If you can get away from the markets this year almost without scratch, then you have been blessed because if we do not have a sharp change in the situation, 2018 will become the most hesitant year ever.

90% of all asset classes that are monitored by Deutsche Bank are on track to report a negative return for the year. The highest highest value was in 1920 when 84% of 37 asset classes were negative.

Just for comparison, 1% of the classes have reflected negative values ​​during the strong bullish rally last year.

What a big difference in one year. Looking at the anomaly in more detail, stocks and bonds will end the year for the past 25 years, according to BlackRock. And while government securities and gold, typical havens, managed to reflect growth during the October sale, the two asset classes are down for the year.

Beyond the United States, too, no relief is seen. Core indices in Europe, China and South Korea are down 10 percent of their recent historic highs. Bitcoin and oil also incur large losses.

Still, it remains more than a month until the end of the year and things can turn around.
