China emerging from Hibernation?  Russia Breathing Fire?  Have Inflation and the U.S. Economy Peaked?  Where Go Economies and Markets?

As the war in Ukraine lingers, China is emerging from its draconian zero-Covid policy, and the U.S. economy is struggling to avoid recession, Fidelity Investments’ Bruce Johnstone will share his outlook for global economies and markets, with emphasis on corporate profit growth, inflation, interest rates, liquidity, and market valuations, given the enormity of the current geopolitical developments.

You will learn…
  • China’s emergence from Covid is not going well as the earlier emphasis on residential real estate as a source of growth appears to be catastrophic
  • The geopolitical moves around the world to a greater number of autocracies led by aged leaders is a huge risk
  • Market valuations depending on highly uncertain earnings growth and diminishing inflation could be nerve wracking

Between degrees from Harvard College and Harvard Business School, Bruce Johnstone served two years in the U.S. Navy as an officer on a Destroyer. He joined Fidelity Investments in 1966. From 1972-1990, he managed the Fidelity Equity-Income Fund. During that period, the fund achieved a return of over 1100%, nearly twice that of the S&P 500 index. This return ranked him as the #1 equity-income fund manager in the nation for the 19-year period. In 1987, he was named America’s Best Income Investor by Money Magazine. Eric Kobren, former publisher of Fidelity Insight, has said Johnstone ranks “a close second” to Peter Lynch as Fidelity’s best all-time fund manager.
