Our research team share their latest outlook for Q1 2026, highlighting how resilient global growth, AI‑driven investment, rising geopolitical tensions and shifting monetary policies are shaping markets. With the US still leading, Europe steady but subdued, Japan reflating, and emerging markets diverging, the landscape is both opportunity‑rich and risk‑sensitive.
We explore what this means across asset classes and investment strategy, from selective fixed income positioning to balanced equity exposure and the growing importance of alternatives such as gold.
