The tally, one vote per house

Deglobalization and decoupling between major blocs are seen as raising costs and fragmenting supply chains, with researchers pointing to new export bans, tariffs and import caps, including the EU's recent move against China. Seven of the eight houses cover the theme as a risk, arguing that the shift from integration to national security will reduce efficiency gains and make high equity valuations harder to justify. One house takes the opposite view, noting that global trade still grows faster than GDP despite rising protectionism.
Each house counts once: its newest view on the theme in the last 60 days. The counts are computed, not written by AI; the summary is AI-written from the houses’ views, without names.
