  • 2.The report identifies three 'transformational' themes for long-term growth: Artificial Intelligence, Electrification (Power and Resources), and Longevity.
  • 3.Despite a headline beat in US jobs data, the underlying labor market is showing signs of cooling, which supports the case for Fed rate cuts later in 2026.
