The Insight Room is a weekly student-led space designed to equip students with commercial and industry awareness by breaking down current events, industry trends, and business concepts in a simple, conversational, and actionable format.

Week 3 focuses on helping you understand the fundamentals of financial markets — even if you’re starting from scratch. We’ll demystify what moves markets and explain key concepts employers expect commercially aware candidates to understand.

What you’ll learn in Week 3:

  • What actually moves financial markets
  • Clear explanations of interest rates, inflation, bonds, and stocks
  • How these factors affect businesses, consumers, and hiring decisions
  • A real-world case study showing how market changes impact companies in practice

Why this matters:
Financial markets influence everything from company strategy to job creation. Understanding these basics helps you perform better in interviews, applications, and commercial case questions, even for non-finance roles.

📍 Every Wednesday, 4–5pm
🎓 Student-led | Beginner-friendly | Career-focused
