In this week’s charts, we highlight a cluster of upside risks that may be underappreciated in current economic forecasts. These include:
- A faster-than-expected pace of policy easing in advanced economies
- A further sharp decline in oil prices
- A positive AI-driven surprise from US productivity
- Unexpected resilience from the US economy
- India's growth momentum firms again
- The Global South exhibits much greater domestic autonomy
This marks our final Charts of the Week publication for 2026. The next edition will be released on Thursday 8 January.
