We’ve crossed the finish line for 2020, and where to begin? Suffice to say, the market and the year has been special, and a fair conclusion is that all things considered the stock market performance has been exceptionally strong. When OMX Stockholm fell over 11% on a single day in March, not many predicted that the year would close on all-time highs. After the turmoil, April to December feels like a non-stop highway fueled by major QE-programs worldwide.
