Summary: For a moment this past week, the stock market felt like it was already there. On Thursday morning, the S&P 500 SPX +2.39% index, down 19.6% from its closing high, was inches from entering a bear market. The Nasdaq Composite COMP +3.82% , home to tech stocks that had driven the bull market, was plunging. Even Bitcoin BTCUSD –2.60% joined the pity party by breaking $29,000 and falling to near $25,000. Everything seemed on the verge of collapse. But the market didn’t collapse. Instead, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell seemed to acknowledge that maybe the Fed wouldn’t be able to engineer a soft or soft-ish landing, as he had so confidently claimed after the May 4 policy meeting. Instead, he said that a recession was possible and largely out of the Fed’s control. For a Fed that was thought to be singularly focused on inflation—economic growth be damned—it was a small, if nuanced, shift, which traders seized on. From Thursday’s low through Friday’s close, the S&P 500 gained 4.3%, and even the ARK Innovation ARKK +11.82% exchange-traded fund (ticker: ARKK), home to so many beaten-down tech stocks, rallied 24%.

13. ESG REPORTING
PRESENTATION TITLE 2/11/20XX 13
Blog - Materiality Question Dogs SEC’s ESG Disclosure Project -
“When it comes to disclosure, investors have told us what they want,” Gensler tweeted in early August. “It’s now time for the
commission to take the baton.”
However, it would be practically impossible for the SEC to require all the above-listed information in one expansive rule. In
addition, though it might please climate change activists, it would alienate issuers and bring heaps of scorn from the business
lobby. More importantly, though, it could violate a bedrock principle of SEC disclosure mandates: materiality.
Disclosures are material when they are reasonably likely to impact a company’s financial condition or operating performance.
Therefore, they are the most important to investors, to use the definition of the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board.
