State of the Markets 2026: Q1 2026 Review
Description
Join us for our State of the Markets, Q1 2026 Review, where we’ll connect the dots between market performance and the broader economic picture. Equity indexes showed mixed performance. Inflation and wage growth continue to evolve. Consumer sentiment dropped meaningfully. Oil prices surged amid escalating tensions with Iran. And the Federal Reserve’s next move remains a key focus for investors. During this session, we’ll break down:
- How major U.S. and global markets performed in Q1
- What inflation, employment, and GDP data are telling us
- The divergence between retail sales and consumer confidence
- Housing market trends and debt levels
- The impact of rising oil prices and geopolitical tensions
- What the Fed’s rate outlook could mean for the rest of 2026
If you want a clearer understanding of where we stand and what could shape the months ahead, this discussion will give you the perspective you need.
