Morgan Stanley chief cross-asset strategist Serena Tang says the firm remains constructive on risk assets for the rest of 2026 despite growing uncertainty tied to geopolitics, energy prices and credit markets.<\/p>\n

In a new Thoughts on the Market podcast episode, Tang says<\/a>\u00a0the bank expects the US economy and corporate earnings to remain resilient, while artificial intelligence (AI) spending continues to drive a major investment cycle across industries.<\/p>\n

Tang says the current macro backdrop still supports risk assets.<\/p>\n

\u201cAcross markets, macro and micro fundamentals support risk assets. In the US, growth should hold up.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The strategist also highlights Morgan Stanley\u2019s bullish forecast for US equities and earnings growth.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur US Equity Strategist\u2019s S&P 500 target for mid-2027 stands at 8,300, supported by expected earnings growth of 23 percent in 2026 and 12 percent in 2027. The momentum is coming from improving earnings.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Tang notes that AI-related investment in data centers, chips, power systems and networks is expected to remain a dominant force across markets, though the spending boom could also pressure credit markets as companies issue more debt to finance expansion.<\/p>\n

Morgan Stanley says it continues to favor US equities over core fixed income.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s why we recommend a balanced allocation with a risk-on tilt: overweight equities, underweight core fixed income, and hold other fixed income, commodities and cash at benchmark weight. Within equities, we favor the U.S. because earnings look strong and the risk-reward looks better than in other regions. Europe and Japan also offer upside, but Europe has more exposure to energy disruptions, and emerging markets lack a broad macro and micro narrative despite pockets of strength.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
