2026 Economic Outlook

The story of 2026 is not a single trend, but a set of intertwined forces. Some push against growth: rising consumer delinquencies, uneven savings and a widening K-shaped economy. Others propel us forward: improving credit metrics, a weaker dollar and the ongoing AI buildout.

Apollo Chief Economist Torsten Slok breaks down these dynamics and more using the same chart-driven, data-first approach that defines The Daily Spark—but expanded to offer a comprehensive view of the 2026 outlook.
