This August financial markets went on a rollercoaster ride. Stock markets started the month with huge declines and soaring volatility, before recovering towards month end. What lessons should investors take away from this summer’s events, as the market jitters continue into September?

Swaha Pattanaik and Monica Defend, Head of Amundi Investment Institute, catch us up on recent events and discuss what might be in store in the jam-packed end to year.

They take a closer look at some of the factors driving markets as the importance of fundamentals is back in focus. Finally, Monica shares our views on the major bond, equity and foreign exchange markets and explains why our growth and inflation projections remain unchanged.
