Global stock markets faced another turbulent trading day on December 19, 2024, as key indices across the United States, Europe, and Asia witnessed mixed performances. Investors grappled with challenges such as rising inflation, economic slowdown fears, and the lingering impact of geopolitical tensions.

<img src="https://cdn.editorji.com/6764109443e2b_1734611092.png" width="588" height="260">
The S&amp;P 500, a benchmark for US equity markets, closed sharply lower at 5872.16, recording a 2.95% drop. This decline marks one of its worst days in December, driven by weak economic data and significant losses in technology and financial stocks. NASDAQ
<img src="https://cdn.editorji.com/6764104898b76_1734611016.png" width="583" height="258"> The NASDAQ Composite mirrored this sentiment, plummeting 3.56% to close at 19392.69. The tech-heavy index saw major corrections in semiconductor and cloud-computing stocks, pointing to a bearish market trend. 
DOW JONES
<img src="https://cdn.editorji.com/6764106ce0738_1734611052.png" width="584" height="258">
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell by 2.58%, closing at 42326.87 as concerns over weakening consumer demand dampened investor sentiment.
Key indicators such as the 50-day EMA and 200-day EMA reveal a bearish outlook for these indices, further compounded by negative MACD signals and declining RSI values.

In Hong Kong, the Hang Seng Index closed at 19752.51, registering a marginal loss of 0.56%. Despite stabilization in the real estate sector, losses in technology and financial stocks dragged the index lower.
&nbsp;
INDIA
Indian markets were among the hardest hit in Asia. The Nifty 50 fell by 1.02%, closing at 23951.70.
<img src="https://cdn.editorji.com/67640ecd0a5dc_1734610637.png" width="590" height="261">

Negative RSI and MACD Readings: Many indices, including the DAX and Nifty 50, showed declining RSI levels and negative MACD signals, indicating weakening market momentum. Volatility in Asian Markets: With geopolitical tensions and China&rsquo;s economic slowdown at the forefront, Asian indices like the Nikkei 225 and Hang Seng Index struggled to maintain stability. &nbsp; The global stock markets closed lower on December 19, 2024, as negative sentiment dominated trading activity.

Onion prices: a new threaten in world food crisis

Is eye-watering onion prices a new threat in world food crisis?

Restrictions have also gone beyond onions to include carrots, tomatoes, potatoes and apples, hampering availability worldwide, the United Nations and the World Bank warned this month

The soaring prices of onions could make you cry!&nbsp; In the Philippines, even before onions are fully grown farmers race to harvest the crop to try and cash in on the vegetable which become a luxury item in the country.
Onion prices have soared in recent months, reaching as high as 800 pesos (nearly $15) a kilogram in the Philippines' capital Manila supermarkets, making them more expensive than chicken or pork.&nbsp;
Meanwhile, the wholesale price of onions in Tajikistan as well continues to grow rapidly. According to Bloomberg, prices are soaring, fueling inflation and prompting countries to take action to secure supplies. Morocco and Turkey have halted some exports, as has Kazakhstan. The Philippines has ordered an investigation into cartels.&nbsp;
The jump in prices is a knock-on effect from disastrous floods in Pakistan, frosts damaging stockpiles in Central Asia and Russia&rsquo;s war in Ukraine. In North Africa, meanwhile, farmers have battled severe droughts and an increase in the cost of seeds and fertilizers.&nbsp; As the cost of buying nutrient-rich vegetables and fruit soars and incomes struggle to keep up, healthy diets are getting out of reach. More than 3 billion people cannot afford a healthy diet, the most recent UN figures show.

For the first time, the global economy crossed a $100 trillion in 2022, however it will stall in 2023 as the struggle against high prices continues, the research centre said at its annual World Economic League Table. 

Recession on horizon for world economy in coming year, says research

For the first time, the global economy crossed a $100 trillion in 2022, however it will stall in 2023 as the struggle against high prices continues, the research centre said at its annual World Economic League Table.&nbsp;

As 2023 approaches, the world faces a recession threat, says UK-based Centre for Economics and Business Research (CEBR). Higher borrowing costs aimed at controlling inflation have caused a number of economies to contract.&nbsp;
'It's likely that the world economy will face recession next year as a result of the rises in interest rates in response to higher inflation,' said Kay Daniel Neufeld, director and head of Forecasting at CEBR.
For the first time, the global economy crossed a $100 trillion in 2022, however it will stall in 2023 as the struggle against high prices continues, the research centre said at its annual World Economic League Table.&nbsp;
'The battle against inflation is not won yet. We expect central bankers to stick to their guns in 2023 despite the economic costs. The cost of bringing inflation down to more comfortable levels is a poorer growth outlook for a number of years to come,' the report added.&nbsp;
The centre had warned in October that more than a third of world's economy will contract and a 25% chance exists that global GDP will grow less than 2% in 2023, defining that as global recession.&nbsp;
The research centre data is based on the International Monetary Fund's (IMF) World Economic Outlook, and uses an internal model to forecast growth, inflation and exchange rates.&nbsp;
China which is set to overtake the US as the world's largest economy until 2036 at the earliest is seeing a slowdown in its economic expansion. It's zero Covid policy and high trade tensions with the West are causing the slowdown, the report said.&nbsp;

The take over which was supposed to happen by 2028, according to the CEBR will only happen till 2036 or later if China tries to take control of Taiwan consequentially facing retaliatory trade sanctions.&nbsp;
"The consequences of economic warfare between China and the West would be several times more severe than what we have seen following Russia's attack on Ukraine. There would almost certainly be quite a sharp world recession and a resurgence of inflation," CEBR said.
"But the damage to China would be many times greater and this could well torpedo any attempt to lead the world economy."
The CEBR also predicted that India will become the third $10 trillion economy in 2035 &nbsp;and the world's third largest by 2032.&nbsp;
While the United Kingdom will remain the world's sixth largest economy, and France will be in seventh place over the next 15 years.&nbsp;
Britain however, will no longer grow faster than its European peers due to 'an absence of growth oriented policies and the lack of a clear vision of its role outside of the European Union,' said the report.&nbsp;
