Global Macroeconomic Shocks

Definition

Global macroeconomic shocks are sudden, significant events that severely disrupt the overall functioning of the world economy. These events can include pandemics, major geopolitical conflicts, severe financial crises, or widespread natural disasters. Such shocks typically cause broad market instability, affecting traditional assets and often influencing the valuations and stability of digital assets. Their impact can trigger significant capital reallocation and investor sentiment shifts across all asset classes.
