They climb because everyone is convinced it isn't, says Philip Petursson, Chief Investment Strategist at IG Wealth Management. He explains why the wall of worry that carried markets through the first half of 2026 has largely come down, and why that shift raises a simple question: what will carry the markets from here? He breaks down what history says about mid-term elections, why earnings remain the real floor under this market, and why the set-up for the second half of the year is more constructive than many investors might expect. ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-living-market-podcast-5452426/episodes/has-the-market-run-out-of-things-to-worry-about/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-living-market-podcast-5452426/has-the-market-run-out-of-things-to-worry-about.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
