This paper investigates the co-movement characteristics of global stock markets in the context of the US-China trade war. By applying a set of different trivariate Copulas, our results suggest that markets co-move symmetrically in the pre-trade war period, but exhibit negative downside movements and heavy tails during the trade war. Furthermore, we find evidence for left-tail dependency structures during that period. Most importantly, this study finds that the trade war poses a systematic risk on global markets, which potentially can trigger simultaneous market downside trends. Our results are robust across different European equity market indices.

The article provides a comprehensive analysis of the impact of the coronavirus COVID-19 on the global economic system. In particular, the authors analyze the onset of a pandemic and the characteristics of the new coronavirus. The conclusions about the unpreparedness of the world community for global threats caused by the outbreak of the disease are supported by the World Bank's arguments about the unpreparedness of countries for catastrophic epidemics. The authors combined the main threats identified by the World Bank into a single system. COVID-19 has had a significant impact on global stock markets. With the increase in the number of people infected with coronavirus, the tension among investors also grew. By the end of February this year, a crash occurred in the US stock markets, the authors attribute it to an underestimation of the spread of the virus, and as a result, this led to the breakdown of many trading chains and the lack of certainty and stability. The article also analyzes the impact of coronavirus on the economy of key countries of the world. It also examined the economic mechanisms used by these countries to mitigate the effects of COVID-19 and support the economy. In conclusion, key conclusions were drawn about the impact and consequences of COVID-19 on national economies and the global system.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the integration and response of the Islamic stock market of the OIC countries before the crisis and during the China stock market crisis also during the United States-China trade war with the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) method. The results showed that there was no cointegration in the period before the China stock market crisis. However, during the period of the China stock market crisis and the United States-China trade war, the cointegration was more common. The Islamic stock market of Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE experienced a domino effect from fluctuations in crude oil prices. Then, the Indonesia Islamic stock market in the two crisis periods had a long-term relationship with the US and China stock markets. Whereas the Malaysian and Bangladesh Islamic stock markets have only a long-term relationship with the US stock market. In terms of the benefits of portfolio diversification for investors, there is relevance of dominant economic, geographical, and trade relations in influencing the integration of the Islamic stock market.
