This article argues that AI has the potential to drive the most significant productivity surge since the electrification era, surpassing the impact of the internet. Despite speculative risks, current AI valuations appear more rational than during the dot-com bubble, supported by strong earnings growth from large-cap tech companies.

The greatest fixed income investment opportunity in decades?
This article discusses the potential for the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield to reach 6% in the next 18 months, driven by fiscal concerns, higher inflation due to tariffs, and sustained global growth. Such a scenario would create a historic fixed income investment opportunity, offering equity-like returns with less volatility, and significantly impacting asset allocation strategies. Investors are advised to consider a curve steepening bias, inflation-linked bonds, and flexible global strategies to navigate this evolving market.
Why the AI capex cycle is built to persist
The article argues that the current AI capital expenditure cycle, driven by hyperscalers, is a competitive necessity rather than a speculative boom and is structurally built to persist for another two to three years. This persistence is fueled by competitive dynamics, supply constraints, the economics of scale, and the significant latent value AI creates, even if monetization lags. Investors should focus on companies that can translate this spending into defensible economics and long-term value creation.
Should investors be worried about the U.S. labor market?
The U.S. labor market shows signs of weakness, with slowing job growth raising concerns about a potential recession.

What’s behind gold’s surge—and what could end it
Gold's recent surge is driven by changing demand dynamics, particularly from central banks and investors seeking a hedge against broader fiat currency debasement, rather than traditional inflation concerns.

What’s behind gold’s surge—and what could end it
Gold's recent surge is analyzed as a departure from traditional inflation hedging, primarily driven by changing demand dynamics, particularly from central banks and investors, rather than a conventional response to inflation or real interest rates. The inelastic supply of gold has exacerbated this trend, making the current rally heavily reliant on momentum. The author suggests that this momentum-driven price action could be fragile and less durable than a fundamentals-driven increase.
How You Can Take Advantage of Persistently Elevated Bond Yields

Has the AI boom turned into a bubble?
This article examines concerns that the current AI boom has created a market bubble, similar to the dot-com era. The author argues that unlike the late 1990s, today's AI-driven growth is supported by strong profitability and robust earnings growth, particularly among major tech companies, or "hyperscalers." While acknowledging rising valuations and capital expenditures, the analysis concludes that underlying fundamentals are more balanced, leading T. Rowe Price's Asset Allocation Committee to maintain a neutral stance between growth and value equities.
Equity markets to broaden despite continued AI resilience
The equity market is expected to broaden in 2026, with opportunities expanding beyond just AI-related sectors to a diverse range of industries and regions. While AI continues to drive innovation, particularly in "physical AI" infrastructure, fiscal stimulus in the U.S. and deregulation in other regions are contributing to this wider market participation. Investors are advised to balance exposure to AI leaders with cyclical and international markets to capitalize on these new growth paths.
Revisiting asset allocation in an AI world
The AI boom has significantly reshaped the U.S. stock market, leading to increased concentration in technology and higher-beta stocks, and elevated factor volatility. This structural shift necessitates a re-evaluation of asset allocation policies and emphasizes the importance of active risk management.

The article discusses how the ongoing Middle East conflict and resulting energy price spikes are reshaping inflation dynamics and increasing the likelihood of central bank policy errors.

Have U.S. stocks become too expensive?
Despite high valuations and modest economic growth expectations, U.S. stock fundamentals remain strong, largely driven by booming investments in artificial intelligence (AI). The U.S. market's heavy tilt towards the AI sector, particularly mega-cap tech companies, has led to exceptional earnings growth and rising profitability measures for the S&P 500. While valuations are near historical highs, T. Rowe Price maintains a neutral stance, closely monitoring these underlying fundamentals for potential downside risks.
Has the AI arms race changed mega-cap tech?
The AI arms race has significantly altered the landscape for mega-cap technology companies, which had previously enjoyed a decade of dominance due to unique competitive advantages. The shift has introduced increased competition and higher capital intensity, as these companies now vie directly across overlapping AI platforms and face new entrants. This challenging environment, characterized by less certainty around long-term margins, has led T. Rowe Price's Asset Allocation Committee to maintain an underweight position in U.S. large-cap stocks.
The case for international small-cap stocks
International small-cap stocks are presenting an attractive investment opportunity due to favorable tailwinds, including lower valuations compared to U.S. counterparts, reduced debt burdens, and lower interest rates, especially in the eurozone and Japan.

Rowe Price's Asset Allocation Committee has initiated a significant overweight position in this asset class.

2026 Capital Market Assumptions: Five-Year Perspective
T. Rowe Price presents its eighth annual Capital Market Assumptions, offering five-year return forecasts through 2026. The report highlights that financial markets have absorbed higher interest rates and economic activity has stabilized, leading to generally stable to modestly lower return forecasts compared to last year, with reduced valuation-driven equity upside in developed markets and lower bond yields. The firm emphasizes that these forecasts are central tendencies for forward returns, not actual predictions, and are grounded in current valuations and informed by interdisciplinary insights.
Revisiting asset allocation in an AI world
The AI boom has profoundly reshaped the U.S. stock market, leading to increased concentration in technology and higher-beta stocks, and elevated factor volatility. This shift necessitates a reevaluation of traditional asset allocation strategies, with greater emphasis on active risk management and portfolio diversification. Investors should consider alternative return sources, improved hedging, and sophisticated alpha generation, alongside tactical opportunities in areas like healthcare, small/mid-cap equities, and emerging markets, to build resilient portfolios in this new market environment.
The case for international small-cap stocks
International small-cap stocks present an attractive investment opportunity due to favorable tailwinds, including lower interest rates and less debt burden compared to their U.S. counterparts. The improving economic outlook in Europe and China, coupled with a weaker U.S. dollar, further enhances their potential returns for U.S.-based investors. As a result, the T.

125 years of returns: Timeless lessons in investing
An analysis of the 125-year-old Dimson, Marsh, and Staunton (DMS) Investment Returns database reveals key lessons for investors. Equities have historically compensated investors for volatility and risk of capital destruction, with U.S. equities showing exceptional performance.
