Week of 1 - 5 June 2026 | A renewed imperative for green transition

In this edition of Amundi's Weekly Market Directions: 

• The energy crisis is increasing the need for green transition investment. On 3 June, the European Commission announced additional fiscal flexibility for energy security investments.
• This conviction is not without historical precedent: for instance, the 1973 oil crisis led France to expand its nuclear energy program.
• Overall, a well-planned green transition may help build economic resilience and improve energy security. In the process, investors would come across long-term opportunities.

The crisis is a stark reminder that security extends beyond defence. It depends, among other things, on secure energy and resilient supply chains. Transitioning to clean energy is therefore both an environmental priority and a strategic imperative for geopolitical strength and economic resilience.
