During this webinar, our experts Vincent Mortier, Group Chief Investment Officer, Monica Defend, Head of the Amundi Investment Institute & Chief Strategist, and Silvia Di Silvio, Senior Cross Asset Macro Strategist, Amundi Investment Institute explored likely economic outlooks and the implications for different asset classes in light of recent events in the Middle East and the resulting increase in market volatility. 
 

Key convictions

1. We are in a regime of “controlled disorder”, with policy as a primary market driver.

2. Significant dispersion of returns across asset classes is expected. 

3. Correlations are unstable and hedges may not always be effective; caution in portfolio construction is needed.

4. Diversification* across sectors and regions is essential.  

5. Inflation is a critical variable, given its potential effects on growth and central banks’ actions. 

* Diversification does not guarantee a profit or protect against a loss.
