The global economy enters Q3 2026 with the Iran conflict re-escalating, a reminder that the road to resolution is rarely straight. Markets have absorbed the renewed uncertainty better than many feared, reflecting the underlying resilience we have been backing all year. The more durable legacy of the conflict is the inflation it has embedded in the system, which has shifted the global interest rate picture: the Fed is now on hold, several central banks are leaning toward rate rises, and the RBA’s tightening cycle has further to run. Against that backdrop, the positive forces we have been backing remain intact - the AI-driven earnings cycle is broadening beyond mega-cap technology, and double-digit earnings growth across major markets continues. The task for Q3 is to hold our positioning through the noise, keep riding these structural tailwinds, and build portfolios that can generate real income in a world where rates are no longer falling.
