The U.S. equity markets overcame the tension introduced by two major global events on the way to delivering positive first quarter returns.



The U.S. equity markets overcame the tension introduced by two major global events on the way to delivering positive first quarter returns. The civil unrest, uprisings and rebellions that took place in the Middle East and North Africa temporarily negated positive stock market momentum, as global investors weighed the near- and long-term effects of potential regime change and possible energy supply disruption. The global political strife was followed by natural disaster in Japan. The events temporarily sent global equity markets tumbling as concerns over shorter-term supply chain disruptions were balanced with questions over what effects the tragedy would have on the world's third-largest economy and nuclear energy programs around the globe.
