Nothing Ever Happens
Hello All,
As the week has kicked off, headlines & economic data are back to flying around from U.S.–Iran tensions to renewed noise around Fed Chair Powell but despite it all, Small-caps are still leading the way, remaining as the best-performing index YTD & also outperforming on the week, currently up by 112bps. Meanwhile, the rest of the major indices are within the red with the Q’s being the worst performing of the group, down 120bps, which has largely been driven by the continued weakness within the Mag-7.
We recently published our ‘2026 Outlook’ which has a plethora of coverage on a wide range of topics / themes as 2026 kicks off after coming off a strong ‘25 & for those whom would like to read the report, I included it just below:
