Specialty insurance rates fell significantly in the first half of 2026, with July renewals showing declines up to 17% net of claims and exposure trends, marking a faster rate softening than in 2025. Both insurance and reinsurance rates dropped by 4% to 6% net of trend, eroding about 65% of the rate gains made since 2017. Property insurance saw the steepest declines, while casualty rates increased but still fell short of covering claims trends. This trend reflects weakening market conditions across multiple specialty insurance classes, impacting pricing and risk management strategies going forward.
