Individuals and Families
Global markets stabilized in the second half of 2026 as easing Middle East tensions, resilient economic growth, and strong AI-driven investment offset lingering inflation concerns.
Individuals and Families
The Iran conflict has upended a relatively stable start to 2026, triggering energy-driven inflation, financial market volatility, and a more cautious stance from central banks. As higher commodity prices ripple through the global economy, growth expectations have softened, policy flexibility has narrowed, and asset performance—from equities to bonds and currencies—remains highly sensitive to prolonged geopolitical instability.
