Following our last episode on U.S. equities with Carrie King, we’re expanding the conversation globally to understand how these dynamics are playing out beyond American shores. European and Asian equity markets are navigating a complex mix of geopolitical shifts, technological disruption, and evolving investor sentiment.

Helen Jewell, Chief Investment Officer for Fundamental Equities in EMEA, and Belinda Boa, Head of Active Investments for Asia Pacific at BlackRock, will unpack how equity markets across Europe and Asia are responding to these changing dynamics, whether companies are absorbing the cost of tariffs or passing them on to consumers, and what resilience looks like for investors in markets shaped by volatility and transformation.
