We are now on the edge of a great market transformation, driven by unprecedented environment forces including global expansion of COVID-19, disruptive climate change risks, uncertainty of the global economic growth, and increased geopolitical risks in the Middle East and Central Asia. In addition to that, many countries around the world have initiated efforts to attain a decarbonized society, potentially a game-changer capable of transforming existing energy ecosystems.
An era of such great market transformation presents unique challenges for investors assessing current market conditions. Analyzing long-term signals in equities, bonds, precious metals, crude oil, and forexalso raises new questions for investors .
To shed light on these questions and more, we are happy to welcome legendary investor Jim Rogers to the program as special keynote speaker. Jim will share his insightful views on the current market situation and future perspectives.
