Dave Sekera anticipates more volatility in 2026 than in 2025. He sees continued upside in tech and expects two rate cuts in the second half of the year. Trade negotiations may continue to roil the markets, and the economy is “especially hard to read right now.” He thinks inflation will be higher than estimated and is keeping a “pretty close eye” on private credit markets. Dave recommends a “barbell” portfolio and explains what he means.
