ATFX Connect has released the Q1 2026 edition of Institutional Edge, its institutional insights publication, examining the forces shaping global markets as investors navigate heightened volatility, policy divergence, and shifting currency dynamics.
The edition provides institutional clients with actionable insights and frameworks to navigate FX volatility and currency risk, strategic guidance on managing the US dollar's growing influence across asset classes, and expert analysis covering equities, FX pairs, precious metals, and energy markets.
The publication opens with a global market outlook that highlights key macro risks, including debt sustainability, trade friction, and currency realignment. It offers guidance on managing exposure and execution quality in an environment where the US dollar remains a major driver of volatility.

Professor Trevor Williams, consultant economist at ATFX Connect, commented on the macro environment shaping markets in Q1 2026:
"As we enter Q1 2026, global growth is expected to hover around 3%, but challenges remain. Advanced economies are slowing, long-term yields are stubbornly high, and global debt levels continue to rise. With exchange rate volatility and trade frictions adding to the uncertainty, the key question is—how will investors balance easing policies, debt management, and shifting currencies in the months ahead?"
The edition also features expert insights across major asset classes, covering US and European stock indices, key FX pairs such as EURUSD and GBPUSD, precious metals like gold and silver, and energy markets with crude oil. These insights combine macroeconomic context with technical and tactical perspectives relevant to professional investors.
