#QuestionOfTheWeek: What will be the market’s primary focus in six months? We polled BlackRock portfolio managers and strategists. Here’s what they had to say:

Unlock new possibilities with PIF's Private Sector Hub, where entrepreneurs, investors and suppliers can access value-added initiatives and capitalize on opportunities across PIF portfolio value chains.

@NaijaFlyingDr Hustle per capita is higher here. It signals determination of a people to survive. Injecting M&A culture, 2 or more pure water businesses can come together in planned merger, create a synergy to scale and attract funds to further scale and boost economic fortune for founders. Etc

Hustle is common. Scale is not.

PIF’s Vision Portfolio will unlock new opportunities for the domestic private sector as an investor, partner and supplier, to further enable its role as an effective partner for sustainable economic development. Learn more: pif.gov.sa/en/

If we are now looking at an average of $85 a barrel for oil for 2026 then that could shave off around 0.3-0.4pp from global growth. Headline inflation could rise by 60 bps. Before the Iran conflict global growth was projected at 3.3% for 2026 on the assumption oil would average $65 a barrel.

This week's oil and gas price shocks show how vital clean energy is for long-term security and economic resilience. To mitigate exposure to future shocks and break Britain's underinvestment cycle, we need a green industrial strategy led by an active, entrepreneurial state.
