Quick Take
"Anchor Capital sees global markets supported by strong earnings and AI infrastructure spending but requiring greater selectivity as valuations leave less room for error. U.S. equities lead on earnings strength while international markets offer targeted opportunities in Japan and emerging market AI supply chains."
Executive Summary
Anchor Capital Advisors maintains a constructive but selective view on global markets in Q2 2026. The most important macro shift was the easing of Middle East energy risk through the U.S.-Iran memorandum, though hostilities resumed in early July. AI infrastructure has evolved into a global physical buildout requiring substantial investment in power, cooling, labor, and financing, broadening opportunities across Asian supply chains, power infrastructure, and commodities. U.S. equities benefit from strong earnings growth of 28.8% year-over-year and direct AI exposure, but semiconductor valuations near post-tech-bubble highs warrant caution. International markets offer selective opportunities in Japan through corporate reform and in emerging markets through AI supply chains and commodity demand. The Fed's hawkish tone and removal of forward guidance, combined with fiscal deficits and AI-related borrowing, keep upward pressure on long-term rates. Private credit faces concentrated stress in weaker borrowers. The manager favors earnings durability, free cash flow visibility, infrastructure beneficiaries, and real assets including gold for diversification, while maintaining discipline around valuations and credit selection as the cycle matures.
