A broader look at the earnings picture shows revisions have been vast so far this year. A trend almost in lock step with the tariffs story. Does this overall market adjustment on earnings revisions suggest a contrarian signal? If it does, which sectors may be best positioned for potential earnings beats or, even earnings ‘meets’, on previous expectations. Also, if we have passed April’s peak tariffs worries are recession worries also in the rear-view mirror? Joining us to share her research on both the earnings picture and how she manages the math on recession risk is Denise Chisholm, Fidelity Director of Quantitative Market Strategy.

In 2025, emerging markets have attracted significant investor interest, particularly in parts of Asia, Latin America and emerging Europe. Chinese equities have had a strong year, driven by fiscal stimulus and a recovery in large-cap tech stocks. But how will policy uncertainty and geopolitical tensions impact emerging markets? Will tariffs or the fluctuating U.S. dollar play a part? Host Pamela Ritchie is joined today by Abhijeet Singh, institutional portfolio manager, to discuss all of this and more.

On today’s episode, we’ll count down the top 5 May highlights from our FidelityConnects show. Connects is live daily for advisors, and then available on replay for all as a video podcast. Markets in May began like April, with global markets experiencing volatility. U.S. markets faced challenges due to President Trump’s trade policies, including the imposition of tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico and China. By mid-May, the market showed signs of recovery, accelerated by eased trade tensions and investor optimism. Canadian stocks have remained stable, as have global markets, notably European and Chinese markets outperforming, driven by strong economic data and investor confidence. This show was initially presented as a live webcast of The Upside, our investor webcast.
