According to the econimist, in 2017 the price of $75 is expected.

The euro growth against the US dollar

The perspective investments in debt securities

A reader can consider it as lossmaking. The question is about debt securities of the developing countries. As their debt market has been downtrodden for the last time because of a range of the factors, nowadays more stable times are to come. According to Michele, in spite of inconformity of the pre-election declamation, Trump's market politicy supposes quite balanced steps that will lead to positive changes in the devoloping markets.

High yield of treasury bonds

Almost straight after Trump's winning treasury bonds went up in price by more than 2.5% that hadn't been noticed since 2014. Michele forecasts more intensive growth for 2017, seeng that many investors try to protect their bond purchase which came to the end of the financial crisis.
