Key Takeaways
It’s spring again – a season of hope and new beginnings. A season that brings more balance, sunshine and clarity into everyone’s lives. The start of a new season is also symbolic as it often marks the beginning of a new trend. And a new trend in the financial markets would be welcome after a tumultuous year that included an unprovoked war, an energy crisis, soaring inflation, the fastest global central bank tightening cycle in decades, poor market performance, and most recently, turmoil in the banking system.
