The IMF described economic activity in Morocco and sub-Saharan Africa as resilient despite global uncertainty. It expects Morocco’s economy to grow 4.5% in 2026 and 4.2% in 2027, with agriculture, services and infrastructure investment supporting growth, while urging continued reforms to education and job creation, especially for young people. The Fund raised its sub-Saharan Africa growth forecast by 0.2 percentage point, to 4.5% for both 2026 and 2027, and said it is prepared to help the region manage geopolitical strains. Separately, the IMF warned that resilient global financial markets still face elevated stability risks, including an AI-driven correction, rising sovereign bond yields and cyber incidents; vulnerabilities at weaker banks and nonbank financial institutions could amplify market stress.

Gold’s sharp reversal has made year-end traders cautious, while rising rate expectations and real yields are weighing on the non-yielding metal despite persistent inflation. Analysts offer differing ways to assess the decline: the World Gold Council points to historical recovery signals, while a review of Gerald Celente’s gold call argues that forecasts should be judged against fixed targets and deadlines.
