About this update from Invesco Ltd
Economic data suggests resilience endures and provides a favorable investment environment for the rest of the year. ATLANTA, June 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Invesco released its 2026 Midyear Investment Outlook, with expectations for the global economy to re-accelerate in the second half of the year. The first half of 2026 was marked by a series of disruptive forces including geopolitical fractures and an upset of energy and commodity supplies. Despite these challenges, the economy remained resilient and corporate earnings have been strong, led by the technology sector and the artificial intelligence (AI) investment boom. The Invesco Strategy & Insights team expects the global economy to re-accelerate in the second half of 2026, dependent on the timing of any resumption in energy flows through the Strait of Hormuz. "While recent events have delayed some of the trends we anticipated at the start of the year, they have not derailed them," said Brian Levitt, Chief Global Market Strategist at Invesco. "In a world undergoing immense disruption, the economy has demonstrated signs of resilience. Private-sector balance sheets are stronger than in past cycles, and policy shifts may help support a gradual reacceleration in investment and spending. We believe this combination of disruption and durability continues to shape a constructive, though evolving backdrop for investors." Key Investment Themes to Watch The Strategy & Insights Team believes the themes that will matter most for investors in the second half of the year include market resilience, the US dollar, emerging markets, AI, and alternatives for income potential and diversification.
