World stocks inched up to a new all-time high on Tuesday, shrugging off weaker-than-expected China's trade data that clouded an otherwise bright outlook for global growth. Chinese imports and exports both fell well short of forecasts last month and growth in overall trade, while still a healthy 8.8 per cent, was its slowest this year. However, MSCI's all-country world index ticked up to set a new record high at 480.76 points. It was last up less than 0.1 per cent at 480.54 points. The index, which tracks shares in 46 countries, is on track for longest monthly winning streak since 2003. Shares across the globe have been hitting record highs in record low volatility supported by a benign environment for global growth.
