“We are not just seeing market volatility; we are looking at a perfect storm where geopolitical tensions, inflation, and monetary policies are converging like never before,” David Barrett, the CEO of the UK unit of EBC Financial Group, warned at the “Master ‘Black Swan’ Market Risk” event at W Taipei, Taiwan, which Finance Magnates recently covered.
The event, conducted by EBC Financial Group in partnership with DiNapoli Experts, was organised a couple of months after the broker partnered with veteran trader Joe DiNapoli and his company, Coast Investment Software. The deal involves the integration of DiNapoli’s indicators into its trading environment and the education of traders.
Policies and Geopolitical Tensions
“We will continue to see fairly aggressive pricing for further rate cuts from the Federal Reserve, not only this year but also in 2025,” Barrett added.
“If we look across Europe, its main economy, Germany, is struggling, not just economically, but politically as well. And I think that pressure is very important for the whole of Europe. As we go further east, there are horrific conflicts going on in Ukraine and also in the Middle East. There’s really no end in sight to that, and I suspect that energy and commodity markets remain on the hook to see what happens in Asia.”
Barrett further pointed out at the impact of the upcoming US elections on the markets and said: “The other thing is probably the most divisive US election that we will see next month.”
According to him, all these events could drag the global economy into deeper, more unpredictable volatility.

Trading the Volatility
Apart from Barrett, the other speakers at the event were Jason Zeng, General Manager of Fibonacci Investment Consulting; Dr. Hua-Shen Pan, an economist; Joseph AuXano, Director of DiNapoli Online Course; and Rich Wang, CTO of Provider Space. They all focused their talks on market volatility and how traders can master trading in such conditions.
While Zeng focused on helping traders use DiNapoli indicators to “enhance risk management and improve trade execution,” Dr. Pan demonstrated how traders can examine the global geopolitical risks that are currently shaping capital flows and investment strategies.
“Markets are no longer simply reacting to economic data,” said Dr. Pan. “We are now in an era where geopolitical conflicts are driving capital decisions, and this requires a new strategic approach.”
AuXano, who also highlighted how traders should use trading indicators, said, “After each Fed decision, markets are often thrown into chaos, with unpredictable movements,” adding that “it’s about staying disciplined and structured, especially in today’s economic and political climate, where interest rate changes and central bank policies play a key role.”
In the concluding speech, Wang demonstrated how the latest risk mitigation strategies can be integrated into automated trading systems, allowing traders to maintain control and reduce their exposure to sudden market shocks. He said: “Automation can give traders an edge, but only when combined with solid risk management frameworks.”
