Filed under: International markets , India , China , Brazil , Russia , Mexico , Canada , Japan , Recession , Financial Crisis The G-20 is meeting again, this time in Pittsburgh, and as is so often the case when the world’s industrial powers gather, the operative phrase is ‘lower your expectations.’ What can investors look for?

There is support for compensation caps in Europe (except Germany); however, the United States and United Kingdom oppose them, so the issue is a non-starter.
