Geopolitics paused, risks rising: What is next for markets?
Market Pulse Webinar
Recent months have brought a pause in geopolitical tensions, with ceasefires and renewed diplomatic dialogue reducing immediate conflict in parts of the Middle East. But while the headlines suggest calm, uncertainty remains, and economic risks are quietly building.
Across the Western world, inflation pressures persist as growth slows, labour markets soften and credit concerns begin to surface. Central banks remain focused on inflation control, raising questions about whether policy is aligned with the risks now emerging.
So what does this fragile backdrop mean for markets, and what comes next?
In this month’s Market Pulse session, Neil Parker (Head of Economics & Market Strategy) shares his perspective on the evolving macroeconomic and geopolitical landscape, and its implications for FX volatility, interest rate paths and international trading conditions.
