Join hosts Sunny Singh and Stephanie Tong as they reveal the forces set to define markets in 2026. As the economic backdrop shifts from monetary stimulus to fiscal infrastructure spending, and artificial intelligence (AI) moves from hype to measurable earnings growth, this episode cuts through the noise to identify where real opportunities and risks lie ahead.

- Gold’s “Oil Moment”: Learn why structural buying by central banks and rising global debt have turned gold into an important portfolio hedge.
- Neutralizing the Hype: How a market neutral approach allows you to profit from the performance gap between winners and losers, even if high-flying tech valuations face a correction.
