Estados macroeconómicos:

• Prosperidad: La economía crece. Bajos tipos de interés. Las acciones se revalorizan más rápido que más rápido que la economía. Los bonos de largo plazo se revalorizan por los bajos tipos de interés.
• Inflación: Demasiada cantidad de dinero. Suben los precios. El oro es el valor refugio.
• Escasez de dinero: Frena la expansión del crédito, reduciendo el dinero en circulación, lo que suele desembocar en recesión económica. Los activos reducen su precio. El dinero permite reducir pérdidas globales y comprar activos a precios baratos.
• Deflación: Los precios disminuyen y los tipos de interés reales son negativos. Puede desencadenar una depresión económica. Al reducirse los tipos de interés, el precio de los bonos aumenta.

UCITS European regulation

UCITS: Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities.

The UCITS European regulation restricts EU residents from buying ETFs which are not compliant with the requirements specified in it. As such, EU residents are limited to buying UCIT compliant ETFs.

Unfortunately, getting around fees will be extremely complicated as a European, unless you trade individual stocks. If you plan to buy ETFs, Interactive Brokers is by far the friendlier option for EU residents.
