US-Zwischenwahlen 2026

US President Trump’s approval rating is among the lowest for a sitting president in post-World War II US history and leaves an 80% probability that the US House of Representatives will shift to Democratic control, with US Senate facing a 50:50 chance of switching to Democratic control.

UBP House View - September 2026

Our outlook for risk assets remains constructive, supported by broadening earnings growth, though tempered by persistent inflation and an oil market showing little sign of easing. Against this backdrop, we are raising our target range for US 10-year yields to 4.25–4.75%, with rising yields and oil prices standing out as the principal risks to our central scenario.

UBP Weekly View – Der Arbeitsmarkt zeigt sich widerstandsfähig; Inflation und die Eskalation im Iran treiben die Renditen in die Höhe

Die starken Arbeitsmarktdaten schürten erneut Inflationssorgen und erhöhten die Wahrscheinlichkeit einer Zinserhöhung, während die eskalierenden Spannungen zwischen den USA und dem Iran die Renditen von US-Staatsanleihen, Bundesanleihen und britischen Staatsanleihen in die Höhe trieben; die Wahrscheinlichkeit einer Zinserhöhung durch die Fed im September blieb jedoch unverändert bei 60 %.

Die Rettung des Yen, die sich gegen die Fundamentaldaten nicht durchsetzen kann

Die gemeinsame Yen-Intervention der USA und Japans – die erste koordinierte Währungsmaßnahme der beiden Länder seit 15 Jahren – zeigt, wie ernst die politischen Entscheidungsträger die Schwäche des Yen mittlerweile nehmen. Zwar waren die unmittelbaren Auswirkungen beträchtlich, doch hängt die mittel- bis langfristige Wirksamkeit von den Fundamentaldaten ab, vor allem von der großen Zinsdifferenz zwischen den USA und Japan, die Carry-Trades attraktiv hält und den Yen anfällig macht, sofern die Bank of Japan (BoJ) die Zinsen nicht weiter anhebt oder die US-Notenbank die Zinsen senkt. Was sind die wichtigsten Hürden, die die BoJ überwinden muss, um die Währungsstabilität zu stützen, ohne das Wachstum zu untergraben?

UBP Weekly View – Warsh schlägt einen restriktiven Ton an; der KI-Zyklus hält die Aktienmärkte gerade noch über Wasser

Warshs hawkischer Ton in Bezug auf den Kern-PCE und die Vorrangstellung der Zinsen, gestützt durch robuste Daten, erhöhte die Wahrscheinlichkeit einer Zinserhöhung im September, während die Prognose von Nvidia den KI-Zyklus auf Kurs hielt, auch wenn die Kursgewinne gering ausfielen und von den Unternehmensgewinnen abhängig blieben.
