The Great Rebuilding: Why the World Is Changing Faster Than Markets Realize

In this episode of the Global Thinking Podcast, Rob Duncan sits down with Forstrong CEO and CIO, Tyler Mordy, to unpack one of the biggest investment themes of 2026: The Great Rebuilding. While investors have spent the year reacting to wars, tariffs, inflation scares, and shifting central bank expectations, Tyler argues these aren't isolated events. They're all part of a much larger transformation taking place beneath the surface of the global economy. From rebuilding supply chains and defence capabilities to massive investments in AI infrastructure and energy security, governments and corporations around the world are entering a new era of capital spending. At the same time, investors are beginning to question long-held assumptions about U.S. exceptionalism as international markets take on a greater leadership role. Rob and Tyler discuss: <ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc"> <li class="MsoNormal" style= "mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;"> Why "The Great Rebuilding" could define the next decade</li> <li class="MsoNormal" style= "mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;"> Kevin Warsh, the Federal Reserve and the outlook for interest rates</li> <li class="MsoNormal" style= "mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;"> Why inflation may remain more persistent than investors expect</li> <li class="MsoNormal" style= "mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;"> The challenge to U.S. market leadership</li> <li class="MsoNormal" style= "mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;"> Korea, Taiwan and the resurgence of international markets</li> <li class="MsoNormal" style= "mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;"> AI's infrastructure boom and what investors are missing</li> <li class="MsoNormal" style= "mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;"> Canada's economic outlook and why productivity still matters</li> <li class="MsoNormal" style= "mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;"> What today's headlines really mean for long-term portfolios</li> </ul> Every week brings another crisis, another tariff, another geopolitical shock. Yet markets keep moving higher. Why? Because the biggest story isn't the latest headline. It's the rebuilding of the global economy happening underneath it all. Thanks for listening. Time Stamps 01:07 Welcome back to Global Thinking 02:33 The first half of the year in two words: The Great Rebuilding 05:15 Kevin Warsh, the Fed and why higher-for-longer rates may be here to stay 09:10 Inflation isn't dead.

Markets, Multipolarity, and the Next Cycle

For more than a decade, investors have been rewarded for a simple strategy: buy U.S. stocks, own big technology companies, and trust that American exceptionalism would continue to drive markets higher. But what if that playbook is beginning to change? In this episode of the Global Thinking Podcast, Rob Duncan sits down with Sébastien Mc Mahon, Chief Economist at iA Financial Group, to discuss the forces reshaping the global investment landscape. From geopolitical tensions and energy markets to AI-driven productivity gains and the resurgence of international equities, they explore why the next phase of the market cycle may look very different from the last. Rob and Seb discuss: <ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc"> <li class="MsoListParagraph" style= "margin-left: 0cm; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1;"> Why markets continue to climb despite geopolitical uncertainty</li> <li class="MsoListParagraph" style= "margin-left: 0cm; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1;"> Whether U.S. exceptionalism is beginning to fade</li> <li class="MsoListParagraph" style= "margin-left: 0cm; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1;"> The growing case for international diversification</li> <li class="MsoListParagraph" style= "margin-left: 0cm; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1;"> Canada's productivity challenge and economic outlook</li> <li class="MsoListParagraph" style= "margin-left: 0cm; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1;"> AI, capital spending, and the future of global growth</li> <li class="MsoListParagraph" style= "margin-left: 0cm; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1;"> The biggest mistakes investors are making today</li> </ul> As investors grapple with shifting narratives, one thing is becoming increasingly clear: the world is becoming more multipolar, and portfolios may need to evolve alongside it.

Crisis Fatigue: Have Investors Tuned Out Risk?

Markets are rallying. Oil is rising. War is ongoing. And yet, investors seem to be moving on. In this episode of the Global Thinking Podcast, Rob Duncan sits down with Forstrong Lead Portfolio Manager David Kletz to unpack the biggest question facing markets today. Is this resilience — or complacency? While headlines focus on conflict in the Middle East, the real story is unfolding beneath the surface. Oil shocks are feeding into inflation, central banks are losing flexibility, and market leadership is beginning to shift in ways that could redefine this cycle. But history offers a warning. Most geopolitical crises feel like turning points. Very few actually are. Rob and David break down what matters and what doesn't: <ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc"> <li class="MsoNormal" style= "mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;"> Why this isn't the 1970s</li> <li class="MsoNormal" style= "mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;"> How oil shocks really impact markets</li> <li class="MsoNormal" style= "mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;"> Why global growth may be stronger than it looks</li> <li class="MsoNormal" style= "mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;"> The risks hiding in valuations and market concentration</li> <li class="MsoNormal" style= "mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;"> And where investors should be looking for opportunity</li> </ul> Because in markets, the biggest mistakes often come from focusing on what feels urgent — instead of what actually drives returns.
