Our Global Head of Fixed Income Research Andrew Sheets explains how key market indicators reflect a constructive view around the global cyclical outlook, despite a volatile start to 2026.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Andrew Sheets: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Andrew Sheets, Global Head of Fixed Income Research at Morgan Stanley. Today I'm going to talk about the unusual alignment of a number of key indicators. It's Thursday, February 12th at 2pm in London. A frustrating element of investing is that any indicator at any time can let you down. That makes sense. With so much on the line, the secret to markets probably isn't just one of a hundreds of data series that a thousand of us can access at the push of a button. But many indicators all suggesting the same? That's far more notable. And despite a volatile start to 2026 with big swings in everything from Japanese government bonds to software stocks, it is very much what we think is happening below the surface. Specifically, a variety of indicators linked to optimism around the global cyclical outlook are all stronger, all moving up and to the right. Copper, which is closely followed as an economically sensitive commodity, is up strongly. Korean equities, which have above average cyclicality and sensitivity to global trade is the best performing of any major global equity market over the last year. Financials, which lie at the heart of credit creation, have been outperforming across the U.S., Europe, and Asia. And more recently, year-to-date cyclicals and transports are outperforming. Small caps are leading, breadth is improving, and the yield curve is bear steepening. All of these are the outcomes that you'd expect, all else equal, if global growth is going to be stronger in the future than it is today. Now individually, these data points can be explained away. Maybe Copper is just part of an AI build out story. Maybe Korea is just rebounding off extreme levels of valuation. Maybe Financials are just about deregulation in a steeper yield curve. Maybe the steeper yield curve is just about the policy uncertainty. And small cap stocks have been long-term laggards – maybe every dog has its day. But collectively, well, they're exactly what investors will be looking for to confirm that the global growth backdrop is getting stronger, and we believe they form a pretty powerful, overlapping signal worthy of respect. But if things are getting better, how much is too much. In the face of easier fiscal, monetary, and regulatory policy, the market may focus on other signposts to determine whether we now have too much of a good thing. For example, is there signs of significant inflation on the horizon? Is volatility in the bond market increasing? Is the U.S. dollar deviating significantly from its fair value? Is the credit market showing weakness? And do stocks and credit now react badly when the data is good? So far, not yet. As we discussed on this program last week, long run inflation expectations in the U.S. and euro area remain pretty consistent with central bank targets. Expected volatility in U.S. interest rates has actually fallen year-to-date. The U.S. dollar's valuation is pretty close to what purchasing power parity would suggest. Credit has been very stable. And better than expected labor market data on Wednesday was treated well. Any single indicator can and eventually will let investors down. But when a broad set of economically sensitive signals all point in the same direction, we listen. Taken together, we think this alignment is still telling a story of supportive fundamental tailwinds while key measures of stress hold. Until that evidence changes, we think those signals deserve respect. Thank you as always, for your time. If you find Thoughts on the Market useful, let us know by leaving a review wherever you listen. And also tell a friend or colleague about us today.

Recorded live from the Narvar podcasting studio at the NRF Big Show in New York, this 500th episode of The Voice of Retail features Michael LeBlanc in conversation with Jim Okamura, Partner at McMillanDoolittle and Co-Founder of the Global E-Commerce Leaders Forum (GELF). With nearly three decades of NRF attendance, Jim brings rare perspective on how retail has evolved—and why this year's show feels like a turning point.The discussion opens with the shifting mood across the industry. After a year defined by uncertainty and stalled investment, Jim notes a renewed sense of confidence and proactive thinking among retailers. Despite geopolitical volatility and tariff risks, brands are beginning to move from defensive postures toward growth strategies grounded in technology, experience, and global expansion.From there, Michael and Jim explore what's happening inside physical retail through store tour insights. They revisit standout experiences from Tecovas in New York, Patagonia's re-commerce flagship in Chicago, and Fjällräven's repair-driven store model—each illustrating how brands are using service, repair, and resale to create emotional loyalty and long-term customer value. Jim emphasizes that circular retail is no longer a niche or sustainability checkbox; it is becoming a core brand strategy, even in luxury.The conversation then shifts to AI, the dominant theme at NRF. Jim highlights how retailers are moving beyond pilot projects and into real operational use—especially in content creation, product imagery, associate tools, and internal data analysis. One recurring theme: simplification. AI's greatest value, Jim argues, is its ability to reduce friction—whether for customers navigating e-commerce, or for store associates juggling dozens of disconnected systems.Michael and Jim also examine the organizational implications of AI. As automation replaces many entry-level tasks, they raise critical questions about talent development, culture, and “reverse mentoring.” Younger employees—native to prompts and digital tools—may become essential guides in shaping how retailers evolve.Finally, the conversation returns to global commerce. Through GELF, Jim (and Michael) works with brands navigating cross-border growth, tariffs, marketplace complexity, and brand integrity across regions. He believes 2026 will mark a return to global growth—driven by smarter governance, better data readiness, and peer-driven learning models.Jim's closing advice is clear: retailers must invest now in AI governance, data infrastructure, and scalable use cases—or risk being left behind in a rapidly transforming industry. Michael LeBlanc is the president and founder of M.E. LeBlanc & Company Inc, a senior retail advisor, keynote speaker and now, media entrepreneur.

Alusid CEO Alasdair Bremner talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's latest international distribution agreement, funding progress and product innovation strategy. Alusid, a Frontier IP Group PLC (LSE:FIPP) portfolio company, is continuing to expand its European footprint after announcing its third international distribution agreement, a move Bremner said highlights the growing global appeal of the company's sustainable tile products. He explained that the latest agreement follows earlier deals in the Netherlands and Italy, further strengthening Alusid's presence across key European markets. The new partnership is with Kakelspecialisten in Sweden, part of the Saint-Gobain group, which Bremner described as a strong strategic fit due to its focus on premium products and sustainability. He noted that Kakelspecialisten's leadership in carbon transparency aligns closely with Alusid's own environmental goals, adding that “one of the things that really sealed the deal for us… is their leadership on sustainability.” Under the agreement, Kakelspecialisten will stock Alusid's Principal wall tiles and Mas floor tiles, alongside new ranges currently in development. Bremner confirmed that the Ashton range is expected to launch shortly, with additional products being developed with partners in the Netherlands. During the interview, Bremner also discussed Alusid's recent £500,000 pre-IPO funding round. He said the capital will be used to prepare the company for a planned IPO, accelerate new product range development and expand distribution into additional European territories. Funding will also support process improvements at the company's Spanish manufacturing operations and ongoing research and development work in the UK. Looking ahead, Bremner outlined early-stage innovation work on new geopolymer processes that could open up further product segments, including moulded architectural features, while reinforcing Alusid's sustainability credentials.

Gear Inc (https://gearinc.com/) Chief Commercial Officer Adam O'Connor shares how his perspective on global growth strategies were turned upside down by spending 12 years living in the Philippines. It's time to do an AI reality check, as it will not magically fix any current broken processes. Solidify your operating procedures first, then layer in technology. AI is a super-powered teammate, not your replacement. "AI will help people achieve more within their jobs." The simple and brutal truth is real leadership is about listening more than speaking. "You can't learn if you're talking." Servant leadership that focuses on empowerment is a path to improved performance. That's not soft, it's legacy building. "If you tread on people on the way up, there's no one there to catch you when you're falling back down." Success isn't about forcing your way of doing things onto every market. It's about staying curious, keeping the human element front and center while remembering the best leaders train people to replace them.
