Exogenous Threats. These types of threats or risk factors come from an external place and affect markets – unexpectedly. Already in 2020, only 38 days into the year, the US and global markets have been presented with at least three major exogenous threats:
- Brexit becoming abruptly final
- A US Impeachment trial
- A viral epidemic, the unnamed Coronavirus in China (and now spreading to other countries too)
- (Bonus 4th threat) US-China and US-World trade policy
