Executive Summary
The first half of 2026 was marked by significant market volatility, driven by the US-Iran war, a continued AI buildout, and persistent inflation, with the S&P 500 still managing an 8% gain.
A major rotation in market leadership occurred in May, as the 'Magnificent Seven' tech stocks faltered while AI infrastructure, chip, and memory stocks surged, some by over 100%.
Market gains broadened, with international stocks (MSCI World ex-US), small-caps (Russell 2000), and the equal-weight S&P 500 all outperforming the market-cap weighted S&P 500.
The outlook is cautious, with high market valuations (Shiller PE at 41), rising inflation (CPI at 4.2%), and uncertainty around the new, less-predictable Fed Chair, leading to predictions of an imminent market correction.
