Renewables, oil and gas are the topic of the day, with Joe Overdevest and Thomas Goldthorpe joining host Pamela Ritchie. Joe is Director of Research and Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Global Natural Resources Fund, and Thomas is an Equity Research Analyst. The war in Ukraine has highlighted the importance of energy security, particularly for countries who depend on Russia. With higher energy prices prompting consumers and industries to look at more sustainable alternatives, we’ve also seen accelerated demand in the renewable energy market. Joe and Thomas will offer their expert insights today, discuss the implications of rising interest rates on energy markets, and dive into the near and long-term factors impacting renewables, oil and gas in this current environment.

Director of Quantitative Market Strategy, Denise Chisholm, joins us again today for her sector and factor watch, to provide her insights on the latest data she’s watching. With much of the world learning to adapt and live with COVID-19, the reopening trade continues to gain momentum as consumers become more comfortable with dining in restaurants and travelling on airplanes. However, March’s consumer price index revealed that inflation is at a 40-year high, which likely comes as no surprise to consumers who have seen a steady increase in the cost of various goods and services. Denise and host Pamela Ritchie are with us to unpack what the current inflationary environment means for consumer discretionary, and how is the looming threat of a recession affecting consumer confidence?

To help us make sense of the latest market developments, we’re joined by Fidelity’s Director of Global Macro, Jurrien Timmer. We’re continuing to see market volatility amidst fears about a global economic slowdown, prompted by high inflation, rising interest rates, and concerns about the world’s second largest economy. Chinese stocks recently suffered their worst selloff in more than two years as the country remains steadfast in its zero-Covid strategy, even as cases continue to increase in major cities. On the monetary policy front, pressure is mounting on central banks to control inflation as the prospects of a looming recession become more palpable. So, with much urgency and uncertainty dominating the markets, what do investors need to know about navigating this environment? Jurrien unpacks this and more today with host Pamela Ritchie. Jurrien also looks at anticipated future moves by the Fed, and comments on the current earnings season. Per usual, Jurrien has a few charts to share so please head to @TimmerFidelity on Twitter to follow along.
