Q2 2026

Global markets in Q2 2026 entered a “Capital Wars” phase, dominated by liquidity, capital flows, and geopolitical developments rather than traditional fundamentals. US equities held up on tech and AI investment, while Europe struggled amid soaring energy prices from the US–Iran conflict. Commodities and FX were volatile, and selective capital allocation and geopolitical shocks are expected to drive uneven performance and cross-asset rotations.
