Investors view US assets\u2014Apple shares, Treasury bonds\u2014as a “luxurious ocean liner” compared to the “unstable local boat.” But is this liner immune to every storm? This infographic breaks down the invisible risks that arise from the interplay between your home economy and global dynamics.\n <\/p>\n <\/section>\n\n <section class=\"md:col-span-12 lg:col-span-6 bg-white rounded-2xl p-6 card-shadow\">\n <h2 class=\"text-2xl font-bold text-blue-700 mb-2\">1.
