Morningstar's Q1 2026 Outlook states that Asian stock market valuations are reasonable, AI remains the profit engine for technology, and valuations are attractive. The Federal Reserve's expected rate cuts will impact Asian interest rates, geopolitical factors may lead to market volatility, and in the short term, focus should be on fundamentals and policy guidance.

【Crypto World】Recently, Morningstar released its Q1 2026 outlook, which contains many noteworthy details.

The core judgment is as follows: Asian stock market valuations are still reasonable, although there may be some pullbacks, there is no need to over-worry about a sustained correction. Market investment in AI remains the main engine of technological profitability, and the valuations of AI concept stocks still appear attractive.

Looking at the policy level—The Federal Reserve is expected to cut interest rates, which will lead to declining interest rates in Asian regions excluding Japan. The situation in Japan is somewhat different, with a higher likelihood of gradual rate hikes. These policy changes will ultimately affect liquidity environments and asset prices.

Of course, it must be acknowledged that geopolitical factors are always a sword hanging overhead. The market may experience episodic volatility due to these uncertainties. In other words, there may be short-term fluctuations, but the overall trend still depends on fundamentals and policy guidance.

AI stock trading follows the same pattern: when interest rates are cut, prices go up; when rates are raised, prices go down; and geopolitical issues make everything pointless.

Can AI concept stocks really hold up until Q1 2026? I have a feeling it's a bit虚 (unsustainable).

Are AI concept stocks about to take off again? But can the Federal Reserve really cut interest rates? It still feels uncertain about this.
