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.
