Forward-looking scenarios, key catalysts and indicators to watch
Short-term · 1–3 months
Markets likely to remain volatile with a neutral-to-slightly-positive bias. Tech/AI momentum may continue but faces valuation risk. Inflation data and Fed commentary will be key. Geopolitical developments (Iran, US-China summit) could trigger sharp moves. Oil prices may stay elevated but subject to peace talk headlines.
Long-term · 6–12 months
Structural growth in AI, digital advertising, and stablecoins offers opportunities. However, persistent inflation, geopolitical fragmentation, and regulatory headwinds could cap upside. Diversification across sectors and geographies is critical. Long-term investors should focus on quality companies with pricing power and strong balance sheets.
