Markets digest the blue wave
Markets entered a bout of volatility after the Democratic sweep of Congress in the US midterm elections, and uncertainty about what it means for the AI trade and the buildout of data centres is a part of that, says Christian Nolting, the Private Bank’s Global Chief Investment Officer. “We saw quite a bit of rotation,” Christian says.

EU-China trade, energy prices, and inflation data
A summit of European leaders this week is likely to focus on the EU-China trade relationship, says Dr. Jacky Tang, the Private Bank’s CIO for emerging markets. “Europe is becoming more cautious about China.

The continued rise in consumer prices will have multiple effects going forward, notes Deepak Puri, the Private Bank’s Chief Investment Officer for the Americas, beyond the pressure it places on central-bank policy. “We are in the midst of an inflationary boom, which means that the growth numbers are going to be much higher,” Deepak says. “There is a concern that further policy adjustments are stil

Higher for longer… still
Looking ahead from the Jackson Hole Symposium, the rate trajectory is the most important question for the remaining months of 2026, says Christian Nolting, Private Bank's Global CIO.

Big earnings growth, and not just in the US
Big tech earnings in the US have stolen a lot of headlines, but that should not distract from gains being made in other sectors and regions, says Dr Dirk Steffen, the Private Bank’s EMEA CIO. “The rally this year is not solely based on artificial intelligence and big tech companies. We have also other regions joining the earnings party,” Dirk says. “It’s good to see this broadening out.”US inflati

Watching for earnings from big tech, and their capex plans

Earnings preview, and a new Fed chief makes his mark
Hostilities flared in the Middle East last week, and oil prices took note, but not to the degree that they did when the war began, says Deepak Puri, the Private Bank’s Chief Investment Officer for the Americas. “The clear transmission mechanism of those hostilities tends to be first oil and then it moves into the rates market,” Deepak says. “I think we need to live with this for some time to come.
