During the webinar, we discussed:

• Rising bond yields and increased expectations of Fed tightening caused asset prices to stumble out of the 2022 starting blocks; the war in Ukraine exacerbated the volatility and led to higher commodity prices.
• The global economic expansion continued, with most countries in a mid-cycle phase and a low near-term risk of recession in the US.
• China's industrial cycle still appears to be bottoming, but COVID and political headwinds are hampering progress.
• Inflation rates should moderate from high levels, but increasing wage growth and inflation expectations could lead to persistently high inflation.
• The war in Ukraine is a stark reminder that we've shifted to a secular environment of higher geopolitical risk. A more unstable backdrop makes portfolio diversification as important as ever.
