Asia Pacific Market Strategy 2026: Energy & Resource Sector Outlook Amid Geopolitical Risks and Supply Constraints 1

Broker Name: CGS International
Date of Report: March 2, 2026

Excerpt from CGS International report.

Report Summary

  • Geopolitical shocks, such as increased Middle East tensions, could trigger market volatility, especially if market leverage is elevated or positioning is fragile. If balance sheets are strong, these shocks may be seen as buy-the-dip opportunities.
  • Energy and resource sectors may outperform due to ongoing structural underinvestment in energy supply, despite only modest short-term geopolitical risk premiums in oil prices.
  • Global energy supply remains dominated by fossil fuels, with limited new investment and steady demand growth, potentially supporting higher medium-term commodity prices.
  • Investors are advised not to underestimate underperforming sectors like energy and resources, as tightening supply conditions and rotational commodity cycles may drive future outperformance.
  • The S&P 500 and global equities are trading near cyclical highs, suggesting poor risk-reward in the event of further shocks, while energy sector valuations remain relatively low.
