Corporate America is increasingly accommodating activist investors, with a record 52 companies making concessions in 2025. While activist investors have shown strong short-term returns, their long-term impact is less favorable, with companies that engage them underperforming the S&P 500 by 7% over three years. The trend reflects a shift towards deal-driven campaigns, as activists push for strategic reviews and mergers, indicating a growing impatience for immediate results rather than sustainable value creation.

- Corporate America has increasingly accepted activist investors, with a record 52 companies making deals in 2025 to involve hedge fund operators.  
- While activist investors have outperformed the industry average recently, over a decade, companies that engaged with them often underperformed the S&P 500 by 7%.  
- The trend shows that while short-term gains may be evident, the long-term benefits of welcoming such investors seem limited, raising concerns about the sustainability of this approach.

The Bank of America team led by Michael Hartnett believes that Trump's "affordability" politics is shifting funds from the "Wall Street elite" to "Main Street ordinary people": small-cap value stocks are rising, while tech giants are under pressure; the AI narrative is shifting from "awe" to "impoverishment," with related debt surging; the positive correlation between the yen and Japanese stocks indicates a long-term bull market, but caution is needed as a sharp rise in the yen could trigger global deleveraging. Emerging markets and small-cap stocks are expected to lead in the new era

- In early 2026, global markets are experiencing a paradigm shift as accounting for rising asset performances like gold (up 13.4%) contrasts with falling U.S. stocks and cryptocurrencies.  
- The shift is driven by political responses to "affordability," with a notable rotation from Wall Street to Main Street assets, benefiting sectors like silver and regional banks while tech stocks suffer.  
- Key indicators suggest we are at the onset of a "Great Rotation," favoring emerging markets and small-cap stocks, implying a broader transition in global asset preferences.

How to understand the global market at the beginning of the year? "Affordability" is the overarching narrative for 2026: "Main Street" needs to win once, the AI narrative is undergoing a major change, and the yen is the "key."

Trump's trade war against Canada is losing momentum as tariffs are proving detrimental to the U.S. economy. Recent studies indicate that U.S. tariffs are primarily impacting American consumers and businesses, with significant price increases expected. While 85% of Canadian exports enter the U.S. duty-free under CUSMA, tariffs on steel and aluminum are causing financial strain on U.S. manufacturers and consumers. Political pressure is mounting, with bipartisan support in Congress to remove these tariffs ahead of the midterm elections, highlighting the growing concern over their economic impact.

- The article discusses the impact of U.S. tariffs on the Canadian economy and highlights a shift in U.S. trade policy as domestic pressures mount.  
- Studies reveal that tariffs are raising consumer prices in the U.S. and negatively affecting American manufacturers, particularly in the automotive and aluminum sectors.  
- As negotiations for CUSMA begin, there is increasing bipartisan support in Congress to remove tariffs, driven by concerns over their detrimental effects on businesses and consumers ahead of the midterm elections.
