Investigation: $29 Trillion Sovereign Wealth Funds Shift to Energy and Real Assets, 60% of Central Banks Worry About US Debt Eroding Dollar's Status
BlockBeats News, June 29th. Invesco's latest survey shows that sovereign wealth funds from 90 institutions and 54 central banks, collectively managing $29 trillion in assets, are undergoing a systematic portfolio restructuring, with a focus on energy and real assets. About 80% of the surveyed institutions believe that energy security and energy transition infrastructure are the preferred directions to enhance portfolio resilience, with infrastructure asset allocation increasing to 9%. The high energy consumption demand of AI has further boosted the attractiveness of energy-related assets.
Regarding the US Dollar credit crisis, 61% of the surveyed central banks believe that the US debt level is weakening the US Dollar's long-term reserve status, a significant jump from 20% in 2024. 29% expect the US Dollar's reserve currency status to weaken in the next five years, up from 12% in 2022. Some institutions have begun to reduce their reliance on US custodian institutions and clearing systems, with one European central bank having completed a switch from US custodian banks, and a Latin American central bank admitting to establishing non-US custodial relationships for "extreme scenarios."
Furthermore, about one-third of the surveyed institutions plan to increase their gold reserves. Invesco's research director pointed out that "resilience is shifting from an optional feature to a necessary condition."

Stifel raises the S&P 500 year-end target to 7,900 points
Reuters, October 5 – Stifel has raised its year-end target for the S&P 500 .SPX benchmark index from 7,800 to 7,900, citing expectations of stronger corporate earnings and gains driven by AI spending, despite a worsening macroeconomic environment. Key details include: In a report released on Sunday, the brokerage said robust government spending and AI investments are propelling profit growth. However, it also noted that strong economic activity is keeping interest rates elevated for a longer period. The revised target is 1.9% higher than the index’s current level. Despite rising energy costs, persistent inflation, high bond yields, and cooling enthusiasm for AI, U.S. equities remain resilient. The brokerage stated that sticky inflation is once again dominating market movements, strong economic data is putting pressure on stocks, and the safe-haven appeal of bonds has diminished. “Capital expenditures and operating leverage in the tech sector continue to drive margin expansion in the S&P 500,” the report said. Stifel's forecast is slightly below the consensus among brokerages, many of which predict the S&P 500 will close at 8,000 points or higher by the end of 2026 (link), with the bull market extending into next year.
