| Global Markets Snapshot: Most equities rebound despite rising rates, inflation | | The public markets' wild ride in 2022 has continued, with most equities rebounding from near-term troughs in March. That comes despite increased central bank hawkishness, persistent inflation, rising interest rates, war in Eastern Europe and supply chain disruptions.
PitchBook's Global Markets Snapshot breaks down a month of trends in the equity, debt and commodities markets, tracking returns across a range of indexes and sectors. It also includes private markets activity, including major deals, IPO performance and unicorn creation by region.
In this monthly digest, we provide the datasets that PitchBook's research team is keeping an eye on as financial markets continue to seesaw. Originally an internal report, we have made the Snapshot available to all our readers to provide more insight into how our team analyzes private markets with the macro environment in mind. | | | | | | | | | | Q&A: ADDX looks to PE's future with blockchain tech | |  | | (tampatra/Getty Images) | | | Could blockchain be the technology that eventually opens up the private markets to the masses?
