Market Risk in an Era of Structural Instability

This event examines how financial markets are adapting to a period of structural instability characterized by persistent inflation uncertainty, rising geopolitical tensions, tightening liquidity, and significant changes in global macroeconomic conditions. As the era of ultra-low interest rates and central bank backstops fades, investors and financial institutions must navigate new challenges in portfolio construction, derivatives markets, clearing infrastructure, and real-time risk management. The discussion will explore how macroeconomic and geopolitical shocks transmit through financial markets, affecting leverage, liquidity, market structure, and risk systems, and what these shifts mean for institutions managing market risk in an increasingly complex global environment.
