Several experts talked about the possible correction of the stock price in 2018. So, Bernhard Hodler in an interview with CNBC stated that the correction in the stock markets during the year will be in the range of 5-15%.

In recent months, analysts have also repeatedly warned that rising too sharply and equity markets, and bonds. Some of them believe that the current loss can show even a positive reaction on the stock markets in the future. “This correction is a healthy development for markets in the long term,” said researcher Scott Minerd, chief investment officer of Guggenheim Partners company.

Why the situation in the USA affects the world’s stock exchanges?

USA is a country of prosperous economy and the largest financial market on the planet. The dollar is a major currency of all investors in the world.

What happened on wall Street without question affected in a global sense on all financial markets. Markets in other global financial centres such as London and Tokyo, are especially sensitive to this.

But more closed systems like China are often less dependence. For example, shares in Shanghai fell 2.2% on Thursday, compared with 8% in Tokyo.

Do I need to worry?

Assuming that the current stock market decline is a short-term decline, not a symptom of deeper problems, financial experts advise not to panic.

Rebecca O KPE, head of investment at Interactive Investor.

Jane Sydenham, investment Director at Rathbones for a stock broker, said that the recent steps were “correction” and not a collapse. “What we need to remember that stock markets had a very smooth journey up, and we did not suffer a drop of more than 3% over 15 months. There was a real marriage of vibrations, which is very unusual.”

Even if stocks continue to decline over the next several days, the adjustment in the market is normal, said Greg McBride, chief financial analyst Bankrate.com, according to CNN.

The US economy and other global economies are now gradually have a healthy position.

“We believe that this correction in the stock markets is a healthy phenomenon, but it is likely to be short-lived, as 10-year bonds of the US are not yet at risk”
head of strategy shares in Saxo Bank’s Peter Garne.

“I have warned investors that they were really patient, you should look for opportunities, not to panic,” said Ross Gerber, CEO of Gerber Kawasaki.

The expert noted that it is not yet time to talk about a bear market (downward trend of prices over a long period of time), because I am sure that investors will buy stocks after the correction.

What to do with this tramp?

Really unstable the stock market is a nightmare for Donald trump. The White house said that trump was focused on “our long-term economic principles, which remain exceptionally strong.” The statement focused on strengthening economic growth, low unemployment and increasing wages to employees.

“The stock market creates tremendous benefits to our country, not only from the point of view of the record growth of stock prices, but also creating new jobs. Work. Work. Work. Seven trillion dollars of value has been created since then, as we have won our great victory in the elections!”- trump wrote in his Twitter.
