In this episode, Greg Dowling sits down with Torsten Slok, Partner and Chief Economist at Apollo Global Management, to break down the forces shaping markets in 2026. They discuss the surprising resilience of the global economy in 2025, the transformative power of AI and the persistence of a K-shaped economy. Torsten also weighs in on private credit’s growth, China’s structural challenges, Europe’s fiscal pivot and the global industrial renaissance reshaping investment opportunities. He also reveals what may be next for inflation and the Fed—and uncovers the hidden risks that could shake up markets this year.
