To date, it would be fair to say that the resilience of economies and of the broader financial system to the breakneck speed of monetary tightening has come as a positive surprise.
The start of the year brought with it renewed optimism about Emerging Markets (EM), given the re-opening of China’s economy. However, markets retraced somewhat as the geopolitical backdrop remained challenging.
After a challenging few years, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February made it clear that 2022 would not mark a return to the low interest rate and low volatility, post-GFC paradigm.
Against a difficult backdrop, there was no place to hide in public investment markets in 2022. Inflation and interest rates were on the rise and large blow-ups such as Credit Suisse, Tesla, FTX and the broader crypto-sphere dominated headlines.
2022 was a challenging year for the global economy and stock markets. The desperately sad war in Ukraine caused havoc on global commodity markets, further pressurizing inflation that was already on the rise.
