JPMorgan identifies artificial intelligence as the main source of uncertainty. Although AI remains a strong growth driver, the surge in Big Tech investments raises the risk of overvaluation.

In conclusion, economies are holding steady, but volatility and sharp shifts in market sentiment in 2026 appear almost inevitable.
