Episode 83: Uncertainty shock—looking at bank failures

Investments Unplugged

Lightning struck some U.S. and European banks recently, and investors may be feeling like the jolt is still coursing through them. Frances Donald, Global Chief Economist and Strategist at Manulife Investment Management, joins the Capital Markets Strategy team to delve into current bank problems’ effects on the investment world and spark discussion on related topics: • What’s been the historical response to banking volatility? • How do we define financial stability? • Are interest rates likely to go up or down in the near or distant future? • Where does macroeconomics come into play in the investment cycle? • Has our outlook for the coming months changed? The markets may be somewhat charged right now, but stay positive.
