Tools to Help You Navigate Modest Macroeconomic Growth

The post-COVID surge is now in the rearview mirror. We often say that a rising tide lifts all boats, but during 2021 and 2022, that tide looked more like a tsunami. 

Nearly every market benefited from robust expansion. Elevated interest rates and cooling money supply have since cooled that momentum in recent years, and as we look ahead to 2026, the economic landscape is shifting.

Growth is still on the horizon, but it won’t resemble the broad, rapid expansion we saw earlier in the decade. Instead, we expect modest macroeconomic growth for 2026. That makes it more important than ever to know where to focus your time and resources.
