2022 started with a lot of uncertainty amongst investors with the threat of war, inflation and the potential for interest rate hikes that would affect the investing world.
Market volatility comes in various forms each year. This year, we are blighted by the prolonged Ukraine-Russian war, which has fuelled inflation to soar due to higher food and energy prices. This has led to the Fed raising interest rates faster than expected. These events have caused global stock markets to sell off heavily in the last few weeks.
With this in mind, we have curated a list of upcoming personal finance events for the month of July 2022 to help investors make sense of these global events.
