Moomoo hosts expert 2026 market outlook for ANZ traders
As 2026 trading kicks into gear, investors across Australia and New Zealand face a landscape marked by both uncertainty and opportunity. From AI's continued evolution to shifting commodity markets, from potential US volatility to regional market dynamics, the year ahead demands informed strategy rather than guesswork.
That's why Moomoo Australia and New Zealand is bringing together a panel of market experts for a comprehensive 2026 Market Outlook Webinar on Thursday, January 29. This isn't another generic predictions session, but an expert discussion focused on the sectors, trends and investment themes moving markets right now, delivered by analysts who live and breathe these movements daily.
The expert panel
The webinar features four specialists, each bringing distinct perspectives on global and regional markets.
Michael McCarthy, Moomoo Australia and New Zealand market strategist and chief executive officer, has been calling major market moves with remarkable accuracy. His analysis of precious metals last year, for instance, anticipated gold's surge whilst highlighting silver's often-overlooked potential. His take on 2026 will be essential viewing.
Jessica Amir, market strategist for Moomoo Australia and New Zealand, combines real-time platform data with fundamental analysis. She's tracking what millions of Moomoo users globally are actually buying, selling and watching, which provides genuine insight into investor sentiment and behaviour.
William Rhind, founder and CEO of GraniteShares, brings institutional insight into ETF trends and thematic investing. His firm's focus on innovative investment products means he's watching which sectors are attracting serious capital, not just headlines.
David Bird, founder and head of education at Mastering the Markets, has built his reputation on making complex market dynamics accessible. His educational approach cuts through the noise to identify what actually matters for investor portfolios.
Why this webinar matters now
The timing isn't accidental. We're past the new year optimism phase but still early enough in 2026 to adjust strategies before patterns solidify. The panel will address the questions serious investors are actually asking:
Which sectors survived 2025's volatility the best and why does that matter for 2026? Where are the genuine opportunities versus the overhyped stories? How should portfolios be positioned given current valuations across different markets? And critically, what are the risks that aren't getting enough attention?
The webinar draws on Moomoo's comprehensive 2026 Market Outlook Report, developed by our in-house analyst team. This isn't third-party research repackaged. It's original analysis based on platform data, global market intelligence and deep sector expertise. The report covers strategic asset allocation, US market volatility preparation, and focused perspectives on Australian and New Zealand markets specifically.
Key themes to expect
Whilst the panel won't be making simplistic predictions, several major themes will frame the discussion:
-
AI's Next Chapter
-
Commodity Market Dynamics
-
US Market Positioning
-
Regional Opportunities
-
Currency Considerations
Beyond the webinar: Actionable insights
What sets this session apart is the focus on practical application. You won't just hear what might happen. You'll understand how to position for different scenarios, which tools Moomoo's platform provides for research and execution, and how to avoid common mistakes that trap less-informed investors.
The webinar builds on Moomoo's education-first philosophy. Whether you're new to US market investing or managing a sophisticated multi-market portfolio, the session is designed to provide value at your level. Questions are encouraged. The panel wants to address what you're actually wondering about, not just deliver prepared remarks.
Access the full picture
Participants will receive access to Moomoo's complete 2026 Market Outlook Report, which goes far deeper than any single webinar can.
