Quantitative Easing will likely return in 2026?
but don’t expect the “turbo-charged QE” we saw in past crises.
Real QE only shows up when something breaks:
Treasury market dysfunction
Major geopolitical conflict
Deep recession
A true banking system shock
And here’s the twist:
The odds of full-blown QE are actually declining right now.
Liquidity tools? Maybe.
Rate cuts? Yes.
But crisis-level QE? Not in the current trajectory.
