Forward-looking scenarios, key catalysts and indicators to watch
Short-term · 1–3 months
Markets will likely remain buoyant on Fed pause expectations, but volatility spikes could occur if geopolitical tensions escalate further. Precious metals and energy outperform, tech shows strong earnings momentum, while consumer sectors face headwinds. The US dollar should weaken further, supporting EM and commodities.
Long-term · 6–12 months
Recession risks are mounting if the labor market weakness persists, potentially leading to a hard landing. However, a pivot from the Fed could stabilize growth. AI-driven productivity may underpin a structural bull market in tech. Geopolitical resolution in the Middle East could cause oil prices to retreat sharply, but the risk premium is likely to stay.
