Assessing the Financial Landscape After a Once-in-a-Generation Japanese ‘Financial’ Tsunami
4 September 2024 15:00 (BST) | 16:00 (CAT) | 10:00 (EST)
The market’s holiday mood was shattered by the events of August, which many are comparing to one of the most devastating financial earthquakes the world has seen in decades. The panic sparked by a surge in volatility wiped out asset values measured in trillions of dollars, leaving many investors desperately seeking safe havens. These events have once again placed central banks at the forefront of financial discussions.
In this webinar, our investment professionals, along with Momentum’s Chief Economist Sanisha Pakrany, explored the key factors behind these events, assessed the extent of the damage, and examined potential paths for major financial assets as we head into the final quarter of 2024. Key questions included:
- How might the fundamental outlook impact central bank decisions?
- Will technical factors support or disrupt current trends?
- To what extent does fixed-income positioning influence the shape of yield curves?
- Will the FX market fuel further multi-asset volatility?
- Where might the $7 trillion in excess liquidity be directed?
