Forward-looking scenarios, key catalysts and indicators to watch
Short-term · 1–3 months
1-3 month outlook: Markets are likely to remain volatile due to geopolitical tensions (Iran, Strait of Hormuz), OPEC+ supply increases, and macro concerns (Buffett indicator, heatwave). AI and tech may continue to lead but face valuation risks. Defensive sectors and dividend plays should provide stability. Dollar weakness could support EM assets. Expect choppy trading with a slight negative bias.
Long-term · 6–12 months
6-12 month outlook: Secular growth in AI and semiconductors remains intact, driven by TSMC, NVIDIA, and others. EM carry trade shift could benefit diversified portfolios. Infrastructure and real estate offer value. Healthcare and consumer staples provide defensive growth. However, geopolitical risks, regulatory changes, and potential recession fears could cap upside. A balanced approach with selective growth and income is recommended.
