  • Rathbones expects no asset allocation changes from earnings, the UK Budget or US midterms, according to its October 27, 2026 analysis.
  • US bank results showed limited consumer or corporate credit deterioration; third-quarter GDP growth is expected to exceed 3%.
  • Technology earnings will test returns on unprecedented data center investment, a significant contributor to US growth.
  • Higher bond yields have halved UK fiscal headroom from around £25 billion, limiting scope for additional spending without tax increases.
  • A Democratic congressional majority is unlikely to materially shift White House policy; potential corporate tax increases could dampen earnings growth.
