Investment Outlook
Each quarter Fidelity’s investment team analyses global markets and the key asset classes to provide a unique Investment Outlook for the next 12 months. All the major stock market regions are covered as well as bonds and commodities.
The team gives a positive, neutral or negative view on each asset class. The views in the report are derived from a variety of sources within and outside Fidelity International and are based on the house view of the Fidelity investment team and other sources.

Bull markets rarely end through age alone; they are usually derailed by events such as inflation, rising interest rates, recession, and stretched valuations. After more than three years of gains, markets were vulnerable when the Middle East conflict and energy shock emerged. While reactions have been muted – reflecting lessons against over-reaction - the damage is real. Energy volatility, weaker growth prospects, and shaken confidence reinforce the value of long‑term perspective, patience, and disciplined restraint.
The value of investments and the income from them, can go down as well as up, so clients may get back less than they invest.
