Markets suffered brutal year as inflation fight intensified
Download the latest reports
Global stock and bond markets endured one of the worst years in decades in 2022 as central banks launched increasingly aggressive measures to bring rampant (partly war-fueled) inflation under control. The ensuing seismic rotation into inflation beneficiaries and defensive plays brought big gains for energy and UK stocks — and grief for pricier tech and US stocks.
Key highlights:
- Global Asset Classes – Broad Q4 rallies cap a bruising year
- Global Equities – UK tops the charts in 2022; US ranks at bottom
- Industry Performance – Energy the hands-down global winner
- Alternative Indices – Core Infrastructure and FTSE4Good outperform in a tough year
- Foreign Exchange – US dollar reigns
