Market Analysis
Letter from the CIO AM: A New Paradigm for the Markets: Active Management Matters More Than Ever.
25/09/2026
Just a few months ago, the outlook seemed relatively clear: the slowdown in inflation was expected to allow central banks to gradually support the economic cycle through rate cuts. That outlook has now faded into the past.
In both the United States and Europe, the resilience of the economy and the return of inflationary pressures have led central banks to resume their monetary tightening policies. The Fed raised rates by 25 basis points in September, while the ECB had taken the same step a few days earlier. But beyond these decisions, it is above all the shift in the direction of monetary policy that, in our view, is of particular importance.
Growth is not just holding steady. It is robust, particularly in the United States, and the rise of artificial intelligence is driving growth across many sectors. Furthermore, inflation remains a clear concern. Central banks must remain vigilant, and markets must learn to adapt without the ongoing support of accommodative monetary policy. Against this backdrop, we look ahead to the months to come.
