Forward-looking scenarios, key catalysts and indicators to watch
Short-term · 1–3 months
Volatile but upward-biased. Markets are digesting the Iran conflict's direct impacts (oil, shipping) versus its potential to delay Fed tightening. AI momentum and any diplomatic progress could push indices to new highs, but sentiment remains fragile to headline risk. Expect choppy trading in energy and rates markets.
Long-term · 6–12 months
Structural shifts dominate: AI investment super-cycle, energy security re-engineering, and debt monetization concerns. A multi-polar world with competing blocs suggests sustained demand for defense, commodities, and secure technology. The transition to higher rate regime will pressure valuations, favoring earnings growth and real assets.
