As the curtain rises on 2026, we thought that the gusher of uncertainty that grabbed headlines last year would fade and eliminate a major headwind from this year’s prospects. Unfortunately, that’s not in the cards. Barely a month into the new year, geopolitical tensions have flared, highlighted by events in Venezuela, Iran and Greenland; tariffs are once again front and center; and domestic unrest related to ICE has erupted.
As the curtain rises on 2026, the forecasting floodgates are opening. As usual, there is no shortage of viewpoints as to where the economy is heading. There are the usual outliers, including pessimists convinced a recession – or something worse – is just around the corner. Alternatively, some see a runaway boom on the horizon, fueled by torrid AI spending and a profligate consumer.
