Investing.com - The first half of 2017 was an eventful one in global financial markets.
U.S. President Donald Trump burst on to the scene, with his talk of fiscal spending and tax reform propelling Wall Street higher and taking the Dow to several all-time peaks along the way.
Meanwhile, cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, proved to be the best performers of the year so far.
In the oil space, the showdown between OPEC and U.S. shale producers continued, weighing on crude prices.
Elsewhere, tension on the Korean peninsula and the Middle East simmered, with markets mostly shrugging things off so far.
Market analysts are mixed as to what the second half of the year will bring, with some seeing the bullish rally continuing, while others expect the bears to wake up from hibernation.
