More analysis

As news that bombing ramped up in Ukraine spread around the world, the Ukrainian President spoke publicly about a willingness to concede to Russia on both NATO and territory claims, sending sharemarkets around the world higher.

The European markets had their best day in two years, with the DAX and French CAC 40 gaining more than 7% each, primarily driven by a rally in the under pressure banking sector.

The story extended to the US, with the Nasdaq gaining 3.6%, the S&P 500 up 2.6% and the Dow Jones adding 2%.

The Dow underperformed after the oil price fell by more than 12% on hopes of a resolution.

Consumer brand Adidas (ETR: ADS) was a winner despite reporting a 24% fall in sales to China, but guiding towards a recovery.

The divergence between tech companies was also on show, with dating app Bumble (NASDAQ: BMBL) jumping more than 40% after announcing a more than 20% jump in users.

In this free report, we outline the key principles that determine all of the portfolio construction and investment decisions of Wattle Partners. Collated over decades, this paper should be seen as a work-in-progress, constantly under review in light of the ever-evolving nature of markets.
