Forward-looking scenarios, key catalysts and indicators to watch
Short-term · 1–3 months
Bullish, but with heightened volatility. The path of least resistance is higher as the Iran war risk premium recedes and AI momentum continues. However, signs of speculative excess and private credit stress warrant caution. Expect sector rotation into laggards if broad indices consolidate.
Long-term · 6–12 months
Cautiously optimistic. AI-driven productivity gains are real and support corporate earnings. However, fiscal pressures, regulatory backlash, and the eventual tightening of financial conditions (if inflation persists) are significant headwinds. The energy transition and geopolitics will remain dominant structural themes.
