Global stocks head for worst year since 2008

World Business Report

Available for over a year

As we approach the end of 2022, we take a look at what has been a bumpy year for the stock markets. With the three major US indices set for their biggest yearly losses since the 2008 financial crisis, we explore what 2023 can bring for financial investors. The war in Ukraine had a strong impact in many industries, and commodities weren't an exception. We review what the conflict meant for key metals like investors' favourite safe haven—gold. And on the day after his death we remember the legacy of one of football's biggest legends: Pele.
