Investors are navigating fast-moving headlines and disruptive forces from geopolitics to technology. Our MidYear Outlook lays out a practical path through a range of possible outcomes.  \nThe themes we highlighted in our 2026 Outlook six months ago – global fragmentation, inflation and artificial intelligence – have evolved quickly and become even more consequential. In this report, we examine what could go right and wrong for each theme and the strategies we believe can hold up across both stronger and weaker scenarios.  \nMarkets under stress can also create opportunity for disciplined investors. As we enter the second half of the year, we remain selective, but constructive.  \nYou’ll see that approach reflected throughout the Outlook: global fragmentation points to opportunities in select emerging markets, gold, defense and companies strengthening domestic resilience. Inflation argues for anchoring in real assets and expanding what diversification means, including alternative strategies. And as artificial intelligence evolves, we believe this transformation still has meaningful room to run.  \nThank you for your continued trust in J.P. Morgan. We’re proud to serve as your financial partner and remain committed to helping you stay focused on your goals through changing market environments.  \nKristin Lemkau  \nCEO, J.P.
