A lot has happened in global economies, markets and geopolitics in the last six months. This outlook special looks back at what has happened in 2024 to date, how this has impacted markets, and what we should expect for the second half of the year. Swaha Pattanaik and Monica Defend, Head of Amundi Investment Institute, discuss why they think the current environment really is “all about confidence”.
Uncertainty looks set to continue and the major global economies and regions are likely to remain on different growth paths. In this environment, Monica explains what the next developments could mean for investment, and why investors should be focusing on selectivity and solid convictions to build resilient portfolios. They also discuss which geopolitical risk factors we are particularly focused on for investing in both the short- and medium-term.
