US Markets in 2026 - Risks and Opportunities

Michael McCarthy from Moomoo - Investor Webinar March 2026

About this presentation

Michael McCarthy, CEO of Moomoo ANZ and keynote speaker in the March Investor Webinar ‘Finding Value in Volatility’, delivers a compelling deep dive into the risks shaping US markets in 2026. He outlines four major interconnected threats — geopolitical tensions, rising inflation and interest rates, AI disruption, and private credit instability — and explains why their combination could create a challenging environment for investors. Drawing on decades of cross-asset experience, he highlights how signals across bond, currency, and equity markets are aligning around slowing growth and tightening financial conditions. Importantly, Michael stresses that the traditional ‘safety net’ of central banks and governments is now far more limited. His key takeaway is clear: investors must prioritise risk management, diversification, and resilient businesses in an increasingly uncertain market.
