Summary
The second quarter of 2023 provided a challenging backdrop for financial markets. Further weakness in the financial sector, on-going uncertainty regarding monetary policy and continued geopolitical risk, all created a complex environment for investors to navigate. Despite these challenges, securities finance markets thrived, continuing the strong performance experienced throughout Q1.
Before heading too far into Q3, we will be taking the opportunity to review the H1 and Q2 securities finance activity. Joined by James Clunie, Director of Long-Short Consulting Limited, we will be discussing the main economic themes of the year so far and predicting how the current and future economic landscape may impact the securities finance markets heading into H2.
