Here are the highlights from the latest Market Insights video with Evan Coffey and Eric Parnell:
- The Federal Reserve: The Fed cut the effective federal funds rate by another 25 basis points at its December meeting. What may be more intriguing for investors is their Summary of Economic Projections, which outlines participants’ expectations for growth, unemployment, and inflation.
- Downside Risks: Three risks likely to hang over markets in 2026 are slowing corporate earnings growth, potential cracks in the AI trade, and a possible rise in inflation.
- Rapid Fire Projections: Fixed income is expected to trade sideways in 2026, while equities could post another positive year but with higher volatility. Other asset classes like crypto and commodities remain difficult to forecast but could offer early signals about broader market direction.
