Market Outlook
Forward-looking scenarios, key catalysts and indicators to watch
Short-term · 1–3 months
Markets will remain volatile due to US-China summit outcomes, Iran war developments, and April inflation data. Expect range-bound trading with a defensive tilt. Key levels: S&P 500 may test support if inflation fears escalate or geopolitical risks materialize. Oil prices could spike if Hormuz disruptions worsen.
Long-term · 6–12 months
AI and tech remain structural growth drivers, but inflation and central bank tightening pose headwinds. Defensive sectors and commodities offer relative safety. The US-China relationship and Iran conflict resolution will shape global trade and energy markets for the next 6-12 months. A potential Fed rate hike could trigger a correction, but earnings resilience in staples and energy may limit downside.

- April CPI and PCE inflation reports and Fed response

- ECB and Fed interest rate decisions in June
- Q1 2026 earnings season results for major sectors
- AI funding and IPO momentum (Fervo, Richtech Robotics)
- India sugar export ban and cocoa financing model rollout
