What is really happening in the global markets? An enlightening conversation brings together some of the most influential thinkers in finance and the global economy.

At stake is a crucial question: are the markets truly predicting the future, or are they losing sight of the real direction? Mark Benedetti of Ardian, UBS CEO Sergio P. Ermotti, and Harvard economist Gita Gopinath address the topic from different perspectives. Bonnie Y Chan of Hong Kong Exchanges, Robin Vince of BNY Global, and editors of major financial outlets complete the picture.

In a context where market decisions determine billions of dollars in global allocations, understanding whether valuations truly reflect the underlying economic prospects becomes essential. Amid inflation, interest rates, energy transitions, and geopolitics, the dynamics driving assets are rapidly changing. Experts question whether the market consensus is accurately pricing the risks and opportunities that are actually emerging, or if we are facing another phase of overconfidence followed by corrections.

Once again, it's this "big shot panel," sounding nice but ultimately everyone just talking past each other. Market pricing ability? Laughable, everyone is just betting on the central bank's next move. Market foresight or just reacting late; who dares to bet this time? Inflation, geopolitical issues, energy transition... all just excuses, the key is who runs first. Is this the same old Ermotti routine? UBS has suffered enough losses. If you could truly see through the direction, you'd be financially free long ago, why bother debating here? Risk pricing has failed; no one can clearly explain this wave.

Haha, it's another gathering of big shots discussing whether the market is crazy. I just want to ask... do they know themselves? Really or not, anyway, as a retail investor like me, I'm just destined to be weeded out. No matter how many of these conversations I see, it's useless. Market precorrendo future? Laughing to death, my stop-loss order has already predicted my loss🤡

Another big shot chat... and yet still gets cut --- Can Ermotti and Gopinath's conversation change anything? I doubt it --- The daily talk about market mispricing is just a wake-up call --- Billions are flowing, but no one truly understands what’s next, right? --- Under the dual pressures of energy transition and geopolitical tensions, who dares to say they see clearly --- Consensus pricing? Ha, that’s the next place to be wiped out --- Sounds like typical elite self-indulgence, while we can only passively bear the consequences --- Why does it always feel like these discussions are armchair strategists after the fact --- During asset re-pricing, retail investors are always the last to know --- The word overconfidence is well used, but no one can escape in advance

It's another group of big shots chatting, honestly still unsure about the next move. --- What is Ermotti saying? Anyway, my money hasn't increased. --- Market precorrendo is nonsense, it's basically gambler mentality. --- Talking about these虚的 every day, better to look at on-chain data. --- Feels like another correction is coming, those who need to stop losses should do so quickly. --- These people are all talk, when it comes to critical moments, no one can save anyone. --- Geopolitics is really chaotic, no wonder the market is so volatile. --- The only reliable ones are those who got in early; now it's too late to say anything. --- Both UBS and Harvard, what can this team really predict? --- I just want to know when the consensus will finally price in the risk, maybe never.
