Context and risks
The rising interest rate environment in the US (10-year at 5.17%) and the ECB hiking rates are a tailwind for insurers' net interest margins, but the fall in gold and geopolitical tension do not directly affect its business. The main risk is exposure to equity and credit markets, which could be affected by an economic slowdown.
