In 2026, global equity markets have surged, largely ignoring geopolitical tensions like the U.S.-Iran war and inflation fears, with indexes such as the S&P 500 and Nasdaq reaching new highs. However, bond markets tell a different story, as government bond yields have risen sharply, reflecting concerns about inflation and interest rate hikes. This divergence has raised alarms among investors and analysts, who warn that equity markets may face a correction soon, especially if bond yields continue to climb. The situation remains uncertain, with some experts suggesting the correction could be temporary if central banks manage inflation effectively, while others caution that prolonged inflation or geopolitical risks could weigh heavily on stocks.
