Global Economic Transformation

A significant transformation is currently impacting global economies and markets, as indicated by unusual patterns emerging in the financial landscape. Traditional indicators, such as those predicting recessions, have failed to materialize, while inflation has declined without a corresponding slowdown in growth. This disruption suggests that investors must now focus on shifting trends over the next five to ten years rather than relying on historical cycles. As a result, the potential outcomes driven by megaforces like AI, geopolitics, and energy transitions will shape unpredictable economic trajectories.
