As we enter the second half of 2026, markets are navigating a shifting backdrop shaped by moderating inflation, evolving central bank policy, geopolitical uncertainty, and the growing influence of AI on growth expectations and market leadership. Beneath the surface, elevated concentration and diverging earnings trends are driving a wider range of outcomes across sectors and companies.
Join us for our mid-year outlook as we examine how these dynamics are shaping markets and portfolio positioning. We will connect the macro backdrop with market trends and company insights to help frame the risks and opportunities for the remainder of the year.
Discussion topics will include:
- A macro perspective on growth, inflation, interest rates, and geopolitics—and the implications for fixed income and broader markets
- An index-level view of what’s driving the S&P 500, including earnings trends, valuations, and shifts in market leadership
- A company-level perspective focused on earnings revisions and where fundamentals are changing across sectors
