Global equities have delivered returns of more than 10% year to date, despite challenges including geopolitical tensions, elevated oil prices, rising bond yields, and a stronger US dollar. According to Manpreet Gill, Chief Investment Officer for Africa, Middle East and Europe at Standard Chartered’s Wealth Solutions Unit (@StanChartUAE), artificial intelligence-driven optimism and resilient corporate earnings have helped sustain market momentum through the first half of 2026. “The question now confronting investors is not whether the bull case remains intact – in our view, it does – but whether the conditions that made H1 relatively straightforward will persist into H2 2026,” Gill writes in his op-ed. He notes that the second half of the year will present a more complex environment, shaped by shifts in energy markets, equity supply, investor positioning, and central bank policies. While easing regional tensions have provided some relief to energy markets, Gill cautions that the recovery will take time due to infrastructure damage and logistical challenges. He also highlights potential risks from a large US #IPO pipeline, which could create short-term market pressure, while noting that temporary equity weakness could present opportunities for investors with a long-term view. “Against the current backdrop of complex macro transitions, we are of the view that the investment case remains constructive in H2 2026,” Gill says. He adds that Standard Chartered remains positive on global equities, with a preference for the US market, while also increasing exposure to Asia ex-Japan (AxJ) markets such as India, China, and Taiwan. “True discipline – whether unlocking value in broader equity pockets such as #AxJ or hedging with gold – is what will separate those who merely coasted on H1’s momentum from those who will successfully navigate H2’s shifting terrain and capture its structural rewards,” Gill states.
