Asian stock markets are favored, and institutions are hotly discussing the global asset trends in 2026.

In 2025, the two major precious metals, gold and silver, rose significantly, while international oil prices continued to decline and the US dollar weakened. Looking ahead to 2026, many institutions have analyzed the trends of global asset classes: Asian stock markets have a promising outlook due to liquidity support and growth potential; benefiting from safe-haven demand and loose monetary environment, precious metals such as gold and silver are expected to maintain their strength; under the dual impact of global energy transition and economic slowdown, crude oil may continue to be under pressure. In 2026, Asian markets are performing well: as of January 15, the Korea Composite Index rose by 13.84%, with the Nikkei 225, Shenzhen Component Index, and Hang Seng Index all rising by over 5%. However, the Nasdaq, S&P 500, and France's CAC40 Index have relatively lagged behind. Many institutions surveyed believe that Asian assets are significantly attractive globally. A survey report released by BlackRock, the world's largest asset management company, shows that surveyed investors are planning to significantly increase their holdings in Asian stocks, reflecting the increasing confidence in the region as a global growth engine.
