The pulse of markets

Highlights from the 2024 UBS European Conference

Over two days, policy makers, industry experts and UBS thought leaders explored the pulse of markets: the pivotal themes and events shaping the investment landscape over the past 12 months, as well as the outlook for 2025.

Conversations and debates were dominated by the recent US election and the impact on trade, tariffs and policy. Central bankers from the US and UK examined the factors determining the pace and endpoint of Central Bank easing cycles, and our panelists unpacked the state of the UK, Europe and Japan.
