Our market and all the international ones do better when things are stable, calm and predictable, so the slight upticks now shouldn't be used as a gauge of the future.
More important is the population's individual power. That's a far better indicator of how the people are doing. As far as stability is concerned, that's a trade off.
For some investors, such as people who want to put their savings in a low yield stable investment that works. But, for those who would rather actively manage their investments instability creates opportunities which otherwise would not exist. Such opportunities yield much higher returns.
