Tisco Financial Group expects the global economy to face mounting challenges in the second half of 2026, warning that stagflation risks, elevated energy prices and geopolitical tensions could create a more volatile environment for investors.
Paiboon Nalinthrangkurn, chief executive of Tisco Securities, said higher-for-longer interest rates, slowing economic growth and ongoing geopolitical conflicts are likely to weigh on financial markets and corporate earnings, making portfolio diversification increasingly important.
