LONDON (MarketWatch) — It is not often the financial markets reach a consensus. No one can agree whether the euro zone is now fixed or just getting ready for another crisis. Nor on whether the end of quantitative easing will crash the markets, or signal a return to normal growth. Or indeed on whether China is about to implode messily, or will power forward to dominate the coming century.
