Dubai, UAE, 16 December 2025 – Deriv, a global leader in online trading, has released a market outlook report for 2026 authored by veteran trader and bestselling author Vince Stanzione, who identifies seven key investment themes as markets navigate political shifts and monetary policy changes. The partnership aligns with Deriv's mission of making trading accessible to anyone, anywhere, at any time by providing retail clients with institutional-grade market analysis.

The 35-page report, titled "7 Trading Themes for 2026," provides analysis across forex, commodities, equities, and cryptocurrencies. Stanzione draws on over 40 years of trading experience to outline opportunities and risks for retail traders in the year ahead.

Seven trading themes identified

The report identifies seven key investment themes for 2026:

1. US interest rates and Treasury opportunities
2. Gold and silver momentum
3. Oil market outlook
4. US equity market concentration risk
5. Emerging market value opportunities
6. Cryptocurrency volatility
7. US dollar resilience

In his analysis, Stanzione states that "the gold and silver bull market, even with pullbacks, remains intact." On cryptocurrencies, he predicts that "2026 looks set to be a trader's market, not a HODLer's market."

Connecting traders with independent market voices

Prakash Bhudia, Chief Growth Officer at Deriv, described the partnership as part of the company's effort to connect its trading community with experienced market professionals. "Few people have traded through four decades of booms and busts. Vince has, and this report reflects that experience," Bhudia said. "Vince's independent analysis gives our community another lens to view the markets through."

Stanzione commented: "I'm a huge fan of Deriv and their mission to make trading truly accessible to everyone. This report brings institutional-grade research to Deriv clients with no multimillion-dollar account required."

The report is available as a free download. Deriv emphasised that the analysis represents Stanzione's independent views and does not constitute financial advice from the company. Traders are advised to conduct their own research before making investment decisions.
