HSBC Private Bank's mid-term investment outlook indicates that the Middle East conflict has led to a dismissal of interest rate cut expectations in developed markets for 2026. The bank supports the view that the U.S. Federal Reserve should maintain its current stance. It forecasts two rate hikes by the Bank of England and three by the European Central Bank in 2026, citing increased inflation risks and economic vulnerabilities in the UK and Europe due to energy price shocks.
