13/12/2022 What’s in store for financial markets in 2023? It would
be difficult to foresee the events of the past two years, but Finalto is hoping to lay out a
few things you should keep a watch for in 2023. The 2020s have seen a remarkable amount of
change and disruption to financial markets. Whilst 2023 may not provide the kind of shocks
we witnessed with the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic or the Russian invasion of Ukraine, it
would be naïve to rule anything out. As the last few years have shown us; from political
earthquakes like Brexit and Donald Trump; from the rise of cryptocurrencies to the end of
cheap money; from pandemic to war; the financial markets are at the mercy, and are the
reflection, of world events everywhere. In this detailed report, Finalto explores the
current financial landscape, and hypothesises about what we could see coming in the next 12
months. The analysis ranges from market consensus to bold calls and grey swans, but all are
noteworthy. Finalto will continue to review this commentary throughout the year as we see
what twists and turns come to meet us. Neil Wilson, Chief Market Analyst and author of The
Watchlist, says that inflation will be the big buzzword of 2023. “It can take years for
inflation to come back down – we have seen a paradigm shift in terms of inflation and this
will mean it stays high in spite of everything the central banks throw at it,” he said. But
The Watchlist touches on more than just financial policy, covering geopolitics, the ongoing
ramifications of Covid-19, Crypto, Energy and plenty of other topics. “We await to see what
happens in 2023 with interest. For the first time in many years investors cannot bank on
central banks coming to the rescue. In this paper we attempt to outline some of the key
themes, trends and tail risks for markets,” added Wilson. Read the report in full, or watch the bize-size
