[Institution: Risk assets may face further sell-off before Easter] Reported by Golden Finance, April 2nd — Interactive Investor analyst Richard Hunter stated in a report that as some markets in Europe, Asia, and the Americas approach the Easter long weekend, investors may engage in precautionary selling of risk assets such as stocks and corporate bonds. 'Traders are unlikely to hold positions over the long weekend, as they have been caught off guard by unexpected events multiple times before,' he said. Following U.S. President Trump's national address on Wednesday, warning of a potential escalation in Middle Eastern conflicts over the next two to three weeks, market risk appetite has already declined.
