Year in Review

How 2022 rocked and rolled global markets. Trillions of dollars wiped off world stocks, bond market tantrums, whip-sawing currencies and the collapse of a few crypto empires - 2022 has been perhaps the most turbulent year investors have ever seen. U.S. stock investors face recession fears. The U.S. market’s pain may be far from over, as investors brace for an expected recession in 2023. While inflation is yet to be tamed, Wall Street's focus is shifting to the potential consequence of the Fed’s rate hikes. Indian stocks top Asian markets. In a year when India took advantage of a structural shift in supply chains from China, forecasts of robust economic growth are set to keep stocks on a firm footing. Next year's optimism for India is driven by strong corporate earnings, a post-pandemic retail boom and an economy set to grow by 6% in the next fiscal year. The pace of new sustainable business rules will not let up. The past year was the busiest ever for climate and sustainability rulemaking, as policymakers tightened the net around flaky or fraudulent corporate behavior. ESG rules will fast become mandatory rather than optional in 2023. Will remote workers return to the office? The coming year could determine who ends up having the upper hand in determining what work looks like in the future. Labor shortages have given workers more say; a recession might take some of that away. Electric vehicle production set to surge. Starting next year a wave of new electric vehicles from pickup trucks to middle market SUVs and sedans will hit the world's major markets. But automakers could be stuck with too many niche models and too much capacity. VIDEO: A year of record-breaking auction hauls. From Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen's art collection selling for $1.5 billion, to the auction of Andy Warhol’s iconic Marilyn Monroe painting, here is a look at some of 2022's record-breaking sales in the art world.

As big marketers tighten the purse strings in 2023, Meta Platforms will become less of a cash machine. This will encourage founder and chief Mark Zuckerberg to pluck his pet project, the metaverse, away from the rest of the business, says columnist Lauren Silva Laughlin. Read her take on why Meta is a tale of two companies.

The supply chain that keeps tech flowing to Russia. A joint investigation by Reuters and the Royal United Services Institute, a London-based defense think tank, details for the first time the global supply chain that continues to feed Russia with Western computer components and other electronics.
