Schwab's Market Perspective: 2026 Outlook ....fwiw



Fixed income: A good backdrop

So far 2025 has been a good year in the fixed income markets. Every subcategory we track has posted positive returns year to date, with some in double digits. We expect 2026 to be another good year for fixed income investors. However, yields that are lower than where they were a year ago and less room for rate cuts by central banks likely will mean less-robust returns. Nonetheless, a bias toward easing by major central banks, positive real interest rates (yields adjusted for inflation) and steepening yield curves create a good backdrop for bond investors.
