Politics over economics: Why markets should be paying attention
Market Pulse Webinar
Political dynamics are once again taking centre stage in shaping global markets, and the consequences are becoming harder to ignore.
Ongoing conflict in the Middle East continues to drive volatility across energy prices and FX markets, while bond markets are showing signs of deeper strain, with yields pushing higher.
At the same time, domestic political pressures are building. In the UK, recent election results have intensified scrutiny on government leadership, while in the US, geopolitical developments are beginning to weigh on voter sentiment ahead of the November mid-term elections, with energy costs and the financial impact of conflict front of mind.
In this session, Neil Parker will explore how political risk is shaping market behaviour, and what it could mean for currencies, rates and cross‑border activity in the months ahead.
