They will also discuss their outlook on the macro economy, fixed income, rates, real estate, infrastructure and liquid alternatives.

• The mid-August deadline for the US and Iran to forge a real ceasefire is coming soon. Will they agree?
• What happens after the midterm election? Will Trump escalate both the trade war and Iran war?
• Ceasefire violations pose threats to commodity supply. What is the status of oil supply and demand?
• What other factors will drive oil and commodity prices through the end of the year?  Is gold a buy?
• What other geopolitical and commodity trends will impact Australia and the world in the coming months and years?

Topics to be discussed:

• US rates under a Warsh-led Fed,
• Where G10 central banks diverge from the Fed,
• The best opportunities we see across global bond markets,
• The dollar's path through year-end, and which currencies are set to win or lose most,
• Whether the US-Iran de-escalation holds, and the read-through for oil and the broader commodity complex.

The US economy is back in Expansion, with growth positive and improving, and US equities continue to climb on the back of a firming cycle and AI-related drivers. Fundamentals still look firm: earnings expectations are rising, margins are expanding, and corporate commentary points to durable demand. But sticky inflation, higher rates, tighter financial conditions, and a coming wave of monster IPOs raise the bar for valuations.

Key topics discussed:

• Expansion extends: what the cyclical indicators are signaling now
• Capex, cash flow, AI: the boom/bubble debate, and why free cash flow matters
• Beyond tech: where AI demand and infrastructure needs are showing up next
• Earnings and margins: how much support is still coming from fundamentals
• Rates and valuations: why this may be the real constraint
• IPO supply: what 40 years of data suggests about forward returns
• Tactically, oil price relief is a reason for cyclical exposures and laggards to get a look: Long Materials, Long Consumer Cyclicals

Moderated By: Jason Glazer, Senior VP, Sales

Key Topics Discussed:

• A 2H2026 update of our outlook: Fundamentals vs. fears
• What are our baskets telling us: Rotation not regime break
• Growth ascendant: Inflation fears contained
• Tactically long consumer (on the back of oil price relief)

Please join Chief Strategists Matt Gertken and Mathieu Savary for a Webcast.

Mathieu and Matt discussed:

• The US-Iran deal and next steps in trying to resume global commodity flows.
• The impact of energy prices on global demand, inflation, and interest rates so far.
• Different scenarios for commodity prices and economic impacts going forward.
• How the market is likely to respond to these scenarios – and what could go wrong.
• What other geopolitical and macro risks and opportunities are looming in H2 2026?

Earnings versus everything else has been an apt description for the macro backdrop during the conflict with Iran. Earnings growth has been red hot, but the Middle East was a mess, oil and other energy-related costs soared, bond yields surged and money markets priced in a central bank U-turn from cuts to hikes. Earnings have carried the day to this point, and we think the equity market has been right to follow them.

 Doug discussed the events that could shift the narrative while keeping tabs on the following key drivers:

• The labor market
• Consumption
• Inflation
• Monetary policy
• AI investment
• Portfolio positioning over 3- and 12-month timeframes

Since 2018, we’ve published what we call “The Most Important of All Unimportant Forecasts” – applying the same macro framework we use for markets and the global economy to predict the World Cup. Now, what started as a one-off idea has become a tradition.

We hosted a webcast to walk through the making of the report – how the model has evolved, how we combine quantitative analysis with macro and narrative insights, and why football turns out to be a surprisingly good lens for top-down thinking.

We also shared our final tournament prediction – and attendees will hear it first.

What we covered:
•How the report started – and how it’s improved each cycle
•The blend of data, narrative, and macro behind the model
•Why football lends itself to a top-down framework
•Our final 2026 World Cup call (revealed live)
