Many investors are wondering whether today's market can continue climbing despite elevated valuations, growing debt levels, and uncertainty around inflation. In this episode, Professor George Athanassakos, Ben Graham Chair in Value Investing at the Ivey School of Business, shares his perspective on where markets may be headed and what investors should be watching closely as we move through the second half of 2026. In this conversation, you'll learn: Why rising interest rates may be a long-term trend driven by demographics, deglobalization, and growing capital demands from AI and infrastructure investments. What current market valuations, CAPE ratios, and volatility signals suggest about expected stock returns over the next decade. How value investing principles can help investors navigate periods of speculation, market exuberance, and economic uncertainty. Listen now to hear George's outlook on inflation, interest rates, market valuations, and the practical portfolio decisions he believes investors should consider today.
