Bank crisis: what’s happening to the markets

In the last week, the second largest bank failure in US history took place without any warning and the return of fears about financial stability.

A different story for what happened to Credit Suisse, a bank saved by a special operation, which will be the focus of our subsequent in-depth analysis.

In general, the scenario has brought fears back to the markets that seemed buried for a decade and for this reason it is important to maintain a rational approach, seeking defense in quality assets, waiting for future opportunities and taking advantage of the high yields currently found on the monetary , as well as Bots and Treasury Credit Certificates (Cct), which have become extremely topical again.

What will be the consequences of these failures? How will the markets react?

They explain it in the video, Lorenzo Fuscà Head of Wealth Management and Francesco Menini Head of Investment Advisory at Banca Profilo.

Markets: the year of China’s recovery

After the reopening, 2023 seems to be the year of restart for China after a negative period also due to the zero covid strategy and the consequent economic challenges it has had to face.

In general, the scenario remains uncertain and for this reason it is important to be more careful and selective in investment decisions: short duration, quality credit and emerging equity are the areas in which to look for opportunities.

Markets: “Yield is Back”, but with selectivity

The markets seem to be experiencing a re-adaptation of Samuel Beckett’s famous play that we could call “Waiting for Pivot“: they are moving on expectations of an imminent easing of monetary conditions in the wake of signs of a slowdown in US inflation and fears of recession. In general, we are leaving behind a year of pitfalls and unpredictable implications, but also of rediscovered opportunities in terms of asset allocation, with quality bonds once again becoming a profitable component of the portfolio.

So what will happen to the markets? Lorenzo Fuscà Head of Wealth Management and Emanuele Fino Head of Investment Advisory at Banca Profilo explain it in the video.
