As the year started, the overriding theme was the dominance of the U.S. in the world's financial markets. However, there were already some uncertainties on the horizon. Three months later we have seen quite astounding action on both the policy front and in financial markets. MSCI’s roundtable of experts provide their unique perspective on it all.
Editorial Note: This episode was recorded prior to recent macroeconomic developments and the tariffs announced by the Trump administration on April 2, 2025. While the content explores potential outcomes related to tariffs, it does not account for events that have occurred since recording. However, the insights remain relevant and may still help investors navigate the current dynamics of the global markets.
