What’s Hot
· Commodities, especially metals, had an excellent 2026, and the bets stayed in place in the final month of the year.
· Outside the US there is considerable good value, and stimulus, and investors are re-allocating to these areas…
· … hence two UK sectors showing, plus European small caps and Europe generally.
What’s Not
· China had a breather after an excellent year, that’s healthy.
· Ditto with the rest of Asia.
· India had a relatively poor year.
· US smallers aren’t yet sure what to make of Trump in 2026.
· And Property isn’t sure whether to respond to economic gloom or the prospect for rate cuts.
