In this week's LCI report, we'll revisit the decade cycle to assess where markets are likely positioned as we move through 2026 and into 2027.
Drawing on more than a century of data from the Dow Jones Industrial Average, we'll examine what years ending in “6” have the closest correlation to 2026 and how it informs the forecast for equity markets for the remainder of this year.
We'll then turn to 2027, narrowing the likely monthly window in which an equity market downturn may emerge as the land cycle reaches its final phase.
The data for this report has been provided by market analyst and forecaster Kalvert K Clark.
