<p>Goldman Sachs has published a research report underlining the 11% return projection in 2026. This is believed to build on last year’s global bull market, among many other factors. The optimism is now being linked to the crypto market, where members anticipate a similar trajectory in the next months.</p>

<p>Briefly captioned as the <a href="https://www.goldmansachs.com/insights/articles/global-stocks-are-projected-to-return-11-percent-in-next-12-months" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">2026 Global Equity Outlook</a>, a research report by Goldman Sachs has highlighted the projected return of 11% in the next 12 months. Leading the chart could be MSCI AP ex Japan with 12% total returns and followed by S&amp;P 500 with 11% total returns. Their returns in USD translate to the same level.</p>

  <p>Goldman Sachs Research expects last year’s global bull market to continue in 2026, driven by earnings growth and economic expansion. However, high valuations mean global equities are unlikely to match the dramatic rally of 2025.<br><br>Read the 2026 Global Equity Outlook:… <a href="https://t.co/eHuN5MbU0F" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">pic.twitter.com/eHuN5MbU0F</a></p>— Goldman Sachs (@GoldmanSachs) <a href="https://twitter.com/GoldmanSachs/status/2010828509074067845?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">January 12, 2026</a>

<p>Next in the position are STOXX 600 and TOPIX with total returns of 7% and 4%, translating to 13% and 7% in <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/stocks-and-us-dollar-dipped-following-trump-powell-feud-wheres-crypto-market-headed/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">USD</a>, applicable in the same order. Stocks in 2026 are expected to be supported by earnings growth and economic expansion, with investors likely to benefit from diversified allocation among different sectors.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-what-s-for-the-crypto-market">What’s for the Crypto Market?</h3>
<p>The crypto market is likely to benefit from this optimistic sentiment. While the report extensively discusses geographic and sector-based diversification, allocation to the crypto sphere could fuel liquidity. Thereby boosting confidence in and valuation of the global crypto market.</p>
<p>The report by Goldman Sachs said that the focus on AI is intense, but that does not mean that there is an AI bubble. It added that valuations are not as extreme as in past bubbles. Suffice it to say, <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/ai-cryptos-show-mixed-reactions-to-imposed-restrictions-on-grok/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">AI under the limelight</a> could trigger a bull run for the AI crypto segment, as has often been seen in the past.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-crypto-prices-now">Crypto Prices Now</h3>
<p>As of now, crypto prices remain volatile with giant tokens like BTC and ETH down by 0.02% and 0.83% over the last 24 hours, respectively. BTC is listed at $91,926.01, and ETH is exchanging hands at $3,129.06. The global market cap has dipped by 0.95% and is hovering around $3.11 trillion.</p>
<p>Many more factors, like the Trump-Powell feud, unemployment data, <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/us-federal-reserve-less-likely-to-cut-rates-will-crypto-market-sustain/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">rate cut by the Federal Reserve</a>, and inflation data, could affect the crypto market. Nevertheless, BTC and ETH are estimated to surge by 12.56% and 81.37% in the next 3 months, respectively. If the market stands true to this test, then it would possibly surpass the projected return as per the report.</p>
