Our 2026 investment outlook: Clearer skies
2026 begins on firmer ground than many feared. The recession that many expected in 2025 never materialised. Fiscal stimulus, falling interest rates and steady policy support have helped markets recover even as global politics and trade remain complex. A more predictable rhythm of US-China negotiations and reduced trade uncertainty have also contributed to the recovery.
Beneath the surface, the world is shifting to a more fragmented multi-polar landscape. This regional fragmentation is fuelling competition for key technologies and supplies, while ageing populations and rising sovereign debt keep funding costs higher than before. These forces imply wider divergence in outcomes and less predictable market relationships, making differentiation across asset classes and geographies more important than ever.
