Developed Markets
Developed markets show moderate growth in Q2 2026, driven largely by resilient US economic data and stabilizing Eurozone inflation. The Federal Reserve's July meeting raised rates modestly but signaled a pause ahead, reflecting cautious optimism amid persistent wage pressures. European Central Bank communication highlights ongoing vigilance against inflation risks while adapting to slowing growth. A key uncertainty remains geopolitical tensions impacting energy prices and trade flows, which could reshape market trajectories in H2 2026.

The U.S., EU, Japan, and UK are focusing on resolving tariff disputes and harmonizing data rules to support supply chain resilience. However, disagreements over climate-linked trade measures and regulatory sovereignty pose risks for timely agreements. Ongoing global events, including China’s reactive policy shifts, add uncertainty to negotiation outcomes.
