Regardless of macroeconomic direction, high-quality fixed income continues to play a vital role in anchoring portfolio risk, offering potential stability while equity markets continue to trade at elevated valuations.Energy: The “Age of Gas” has arrived, with natural gas transitioning from a bridge fuel to a primary source satisfying massive power demand increases. Canadian oil producers remain a compelling choice, offering inventory depth and asset longevity compared to U.S. peers.Global Equities: A new cycle defined by the intersection of AI-driven capital expenditure and policy easing is expected to extend the bull market. While valuations are elevated, we believe the “AI bubble” analogy to the dot-com era does not hold, as today’s tech leaders are cash-rich and demand for computing power remains strong.Gold Equities: Conditions for continued momentum should remain intact, fuelled by unprecedented central bank demand and Western investors seeking safe havens. Gold equities are expected to play catch-up in this commodity-led rally.Metals & Mining: Beyond traditional fundamentals, demand is now driven by geopolitics, national security, and AI. As governments focus on supply chain independence and the global push toward sustainability continues, the sector remains a strategic priority.Infrastructure: The asset class faces structural tailwinds from the push toward global electrification and fiscal spending on large-scale construction. Electricity demand is expected to accelerate through 2035, led by power-intensive, AI data centres.Cryptoassets: Heading into 2026, crypto stands on the edge of a transformative chapter where digital assets, traditional finance, and AI begin to operate as one interconnected system. We expect the tokenized market to eclipse $500 billion in 2026.Article contentArticle contentTo learn more, download the complete report here: Ninepoint 2026 Market OutlookArticle contentAbout Ninepoint Partners LPArticle contentBased in Toronto, Ninepoint Partners LP is one of Canada’s leading alternative investment management firms overseeing approximately $7 billion in assets under management and institutional contracts.
