- Stock markets recorded their worst week since the start of the pandemic amid concerns over rising inflation, housing affordability, commodity prices, and potential recession. - Access to critical metals has become a key issue for countries trying to transition to cleaner economic policies, while supply chain disruptions continue to plague global supply chains. - High inflation poses challenges for central banks and risks further dampening consumer spending. Geopolitical risks such as tensions over oil production and shortages of commodities like lithium also threaten economic stability.

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.

Summary:
But all eyes were on the S&P 500 Tuesday after it fell into bear market territory, meaning stocks
dropped over 20-percent from a recent peak.
According to economists, a bear market can last anywhere from weeks to years and generally
means the confidence in the market is shaky.
