Macro Musings with the W1M Multi-Asset Team: Volume 4
In this episode of Why Invest? The W1M Multi-Asset team reviews an eventful first half of 2026, from geopolitical tensions and oil market volatility to the continued strength of AI-related investment and the resilience of equity markets.
They discuss the major macro forces shaping portfolios today, including energy security, inflation, interest rates, liquidity and earnings momentum, while sharing how these themes are influencing asset allocation decisions.
The episode also explores whether parts of the market are showing signs of bubble-like behaviour, why equity opportunities remain attractive in selected areas, and how AI, defence, energy infrastructure and UK capital markets are creating both risks and opportunities for investors.
