Taylor Swift, second from right, accepts the award for album of the year for “1989” at the 58th annual Grammy Awards on Monday, Feb. 15, 2016, in Los Angeles. (Photo by Matt Sayles/Invision/AP)LOS ANGELES — Taylor Swift’s multi-hit, bestselling “1989” album brought the singer her second Grammy Award win for album of the year.

“You have pretty sluggish growth globally. You don’t really have any inflation. And you have a lot of uncertainty,” says David Lebovitz, who advises on market strategies for JP Morgan Funds.
Some of the recent tumult may be an overreaction by jittery investors…
