Rates, Risks & Opportunities

About the event
As markets head into the second half of 2026, investors are facing a more fragile and uneven backdrop – shaped by shifting rate expectations, geopolitical uncertainty, and widening divergence across sectors, regions, and issuers. In this environment, identifying where risk is rising and where value remains requires a sharper, more selective approach.
Join CreditSights’ senior analysts for 2H26 Outlook: Rates, Risks & Opportunities, where they will unpack the macro and rates outlook, assess the implications for APAC credit, and highlight the themes, sector, and investment opportunities that will define the months ahead. The session will conclude with our analysts’ highest-conviction picks and pans across the region.
