The overall tendency for correlation across global equity indices is high, given strong economic integration across countries and the multinational business of large-cap stocks. Nevertheless, we note the current decline in equity correlations. The US is obviously moving higher on tech (Mag 7) and strong valuations. We note that the Mag 7 is showing increased dispersion, and valuations outside of tech are more reasonable; however, perceptions and flows suggest a decoupling as investors look for cheaper investment opportunities. The theme of seeking international cheap valuations will drive investor focus in 2026.
