A new Fed, familiar market dynamics – July, 2026

Through the first half of the year, the index has gained 8%, keeping it well on pace toward our year-end price target. As we’ve discussed throughout the year, however, the bigger story isn’t the return of the S&P 500—it’s the broadening of market leadership. Emerging Markets and U.S. Small Caps have led the way, returning 23% and 22%, respectively, while the more balanced S&P 500 Equal Weight index gained 12%, outperforming its traditional capitalization-weighted counterpart. Together, these trends continue to reinforce our Risk Awareness and Diversification 2.0 (RAD) theme that a broader opportunity set would emerge in 2026.
