T. ROWE PRICE 2026 MIDYEAR MARKET OUTLOOK: FRAGMENTATION, AI, AND INFLATION RESHAPE FINANCIAL MARKETS AMID HEIGHTENED GEOPOLITICAL TENSIONSJune 10, 2026 10:32 AM
PR Newswire (US) Oil prices may normalize some but are likely to remain structurally higherBALTIMORE, June 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- T. Rowe Price, a global investment management firm and a leader in retirement, released its midyear outlook for global financial markets for the remainder of 2026. Fiscal expansion and AI investment have underpinned stronger-than-expected U.S. growth, but leadership in stocks has begun to broaden beyond mega-cap technology companies. In fixed income, while government bond yields have stayed under pressure from deficits and issuance, credit markets have been resilient. The risk for investors is mistaking resilience for calm, as the market regime is changing. Key points from the 2026 Midyear Market Outlook include:Markets have remained relatively sturdy, but rising geopolitical tensions are prompting a reassessment of long-standing security assumptions, with greater emphasis on cyber capabilities and localized defense capacity. This is creating central bank policy dispersion, creating opportunities in rates and currency markets.Manufacturing is recovering after a multi-year downturn, adding a new source of inflation pressure just as markets had hoped central banks could continue cutting interest rates. This is likely to make inflation broader and more durable than markets expect.Supply shocks have sparked a global push for energy security. The Middle East conflict has exposed how fragile global energy supply chains have become. This has sharpened investor focus on industries positioned to benefit from a world of scarcer supply.AI-related upside is broadening beyond the most obvious beneficiaries to industrial and hardware technology companies enabling the infrastructure build-out. The focus is shifting from the size of hyperscaler spending to where that spending flows, such as power, data centers, electrical equipment, cooling, connectivity, construction, and services.The long-running dynamic of stock market returns being dominated by a small group of mega-cap, asset-light platforms is shifting. These companies are being pulled into a capital-intensive investment race, which can pressure free cash flow and alter return profiles. For investors and active managers, the implications are significant.QUOTESChris Kushlis, chief emerging market macro strategist "Geopolitical tensions are accelerating the fragmentation of the global economy as governments prioritize energy security, domestic industrial capacity, and diversified supply chains. This is likely to prove structurally inflationary, increasing costs through reshoring, tariffs, supply-chain duplication, higher defense spending, and more volatile central bank policy paths."Razan Nasser, credit analyst"Credit markets have absorbed the year's geopolitical shocks better than might have been expected. But repeated shocks could test resilience if higher energy prices and more volatile inflation expectations begin to weigh on financial conditions and risk appetite. Central banks are coming under pressure to compromise their inflation targets."Adam Marden, portfolio manager, Fixed Income"Markets have not priced in the possibility of more persistent inflation tied to the upturn in global manufacturing and more expensive raw materials. Markets are trying to look through short-term pressures, but investors may be disappointed by the structural inflation that remains after the immediate energy supply crunch."Rick de los Reyes, head of commodities and sector portfolio manager"Declining oil productivity and elevated geopolitical risk are likely to keep prices structurally higher than before the current Middle East conflict. We see opportunities in businesses tied to energy scarcity, such as oil field services firms and producers in developed countries of critical minerals such as tungsten and uranium."Jason Adams, sector portfolio manager, Equity"AI is no longer just a technology story. It is increasingly becoming a broader industrial and infrastructure investment cycle. The most attractive opportunities sit with companies that can monetize complexity, power intensity, connectivity, and execution, rather than simply benefiting from backlog growth or AI enthusiasm."David Eiswert, portfolio manager, Equity"Market leadership is broadening across sectors and geographies, widening the gap between companies that can translate higher investment into stronger returns on capital and those that cannot. This creates a richer opportunity set for active investors who can distinguish between capital spending that enhances returns and spending that dilutes them. This is more than market rotation. It's a shift from concentration to dispersion, and from passive exposure to active selection."ABOUT T. ROWE PRICE

This name change coincides with the Plan's 25th anniversary, which T. Rowe Price and the Education Trust of Alaska are commemorating with a $250 matching incentive for new saversBALTIMORE, April 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- T. Rowe Price, a global asset management firm and a leader in retirement, today announced the renaming of its longstanding "T. Rowe Price College Savings Plan" to "T. Rowe Price 529." The name change to the firm's Morningstar Gold-rated national plani was made to more accurately reflect the growing range of educational expenses these tax-advantaged accounts can support. While 529 plans have typically been associated with traditional four-year college tuition, federal legislation continues to expand how accounts can be used, to include: apprenticeship programs, student loan repayments up to a certain amount, and other qualified expenses.ii
"We've seen firsthand how starting early—even starting with modest contributions—can make a meaningful difference for families preparing for future education expenses," said Roger Young, CFP®, thought leadership director at T. Rowe Price. "With the expanded flexibility now granted to 529s, families may benefit from valuable tax advantages that can be applied to a broader range of educational expenses than ever before."Celebrating 25 Years of Education Savings With $250 Matching IncentiveThe renaming of the plan coincides with the 25th anniversary of T. Rowe Price and the Education Trust of Alaska offering its 529 savings program. To mark the milestone, the Education Trust of Alaska is funding a limited-time incentive program designed to encourage new account openings and early savings. New accounts opened with a contribution of at least $250 in 2026 will be eligible to receive a matched $250 payment to be deposited in February of next year.iii"Over the last 25 years, we've had the privilege of supporting families as they plan and save for one of life's most important milestones—education," said Mark Scarborough, head of T. Rowe Price's 529 program. "Over that time, we've seen the powerful role 529 plans can play in helping families prepare for the future, and that perspective continues to guide our work today. We remain committed to encouraging families to take the first step, start early, and build a path forward—so that they can plan for the future with confidence."As part of the firm's ongoing efforts to support education planning—and in recognition of 529 Day, T. Rowe Price 529 will partner with savingforcollege.com to host an educational webinar on May 28th to explore key considerations and practical strategies for families at all stages of their savings journey.T. Rowe Price's 529 program leverages the firm's disciplined investment approach, providing families with access to diversified, actively managed portfolios designed to support long-term education savings goals.

T. Rowe Price OHA Flexible Credit Income Fund ("OFLEX") is a non-exchange traded, closed-end management investment company that operates as an "interval fund". OFLEX expects to invest at least 80% of its assets in fixed income securities and credit instruments. The Fund is designed primarily for long-term investors and not as a trading vehicle. This investment involves a high degree of risk. An investor should purchase these securities only if they can afford the complete loss of the investment. This document must be read in conjunction with the OFLEX prospectus, including the "Risk Factors" sections therein, in order to fully understand all the implications and risks of an investment in OFLEX. These risks include, but are not limited to, the following:We have limited prior operating history and there is no assurance that we will achieve our investment objective.We do not intend to list our shares on any securities exchange, and we do not expect a secondary market in our shares to develop prior to any listing.We will conduct quarterly repurchase offers for between 5% and 25% of the Fund's outstanding Shares at net asset value ("NAV"). In connection with any given repurchase offer, it is likely that the Fund may offer to repurchase only the minimum amount of 5% of its outstanding Shares. It is also possible that a repurchase offer may be oversubscribed, with the result that shareholders may only be able to have a portion of their Shares repurchased. Even though the Fund will make quarterly repurchase offers to repurchase a portion of the Shares to try to provide liquidity to shareholders, you should consider the Shares to have limited liquidity.The Fund's NAV per Share may be volatile. As the Shares are not traded, investors will not be able to dispose of their investment in the Fund, except through repurchases conducted through the share repurchase program, no matter how the Fund performs.The investor will bear substantial fees and expenses in connection with their investment. The Fund charges management fees, incentive fees, loads, other expenses or brokerage commissions and fees for optional services may also apply. These fees will detract from the total return. Fees and expenses may result in a significant difference between gross and net returns.We cannot guarantee that we will make distributions, and if we do, we may fund such distributions from sources other than cash flow from operations, including, without limitation, the sale of assets, borrowings, or return of capital, and we have no limits on the amounts we may pay from such sources. Although we generally expect to fund distributions from cash flow from operations, we have not established limits on the amounts we may pay from such sources. A return of capital (1) is a return of the original amount invested, (2) does not constitute earnings or profits and (3) will have the effect of reducing a shareholder's tax basis such that when a shareholder sells its shares the sale may be subject to taxes even if the shares are sold for less than the original purchase price.Distributions may also be funded in significant part, directly or indirectly, from temporary waivers or expense reimbursements borne by the Adviser or its affiliates, that may be subject to reimbursement to the Adviser or its affiliates. The repayment of any amounts owed to the Adviser or its affiliates will reduce future distributions to which investors would otherwise be entitled.We expect to use leverage, which may increase the volatility of OFLEX's investments and will magnify the potential for loss on amounts invested in us.We intend to invest a substantial portion in securities that are rated below investment grade by rating agencies or that would be rated below investment grade if they were rated. Below investment grade securities, which are often referred to as "junk," have predominantly speculative characteristics with respect to the issuer's capacity to pay interest and repay principal. They may also be illiquid, unregistered and difficult to value.Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities regulator has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense. Securities regulators have also not passed upon whether this offering can be sold in compliance with existing or future suitability or conduct standards including the 'Regulation Best Interest' standard to any or all purchasers.All investments involve the risk of material or total loss. Alternative investments often are speculative, typically have higher fees than traditional investments, often include a high degree of risk and are in the best interest of, or suitable for, eligible, long-term investors who are willing to forgo liquidity and put capital at risk for an indefinite period of time. They may be highly illiquid and can engage in leverage and other speculative practices that may increase volatility and risk of loss. An investor should purchase these securities only if they can afford the complete loss of the investment.Fixed-income securities are subject to credit risk, call risk, prepayment risk and interest rate risk. As interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall. Investments in bank loans may at times become difficult to value and highly illiquid; they are subject to credit risk such as nonpayment of principal or interest, and risks of bankruptcy and insolvency.International investments can be riskier than U.S. investments due to the adverse effects of currency exchange rates, differences in market structure and liquidity, as well as specific country, regional, and economic developments. These risks are typically greater in emerging markets.The Fund may enter into short sales by selling a security it has borrowed. If the market price of a security increases after the Fund borrows the security, the Fund will suffer a potentially unlimited loss when it replaces the borrowed security at the higher price.OFLEX may invest in derivatives, including Collateralized Loan Obligations (CLOs), options and futures, which may be riskier or more volatile than other types of investments because they are generally more sensitive to changes in market or economic conditions; risks include currency risk, leverage risk, liquidity risk, index risk, pricing risk, and counterparty risk.
OFLEX is "non-diversified," meaning it may invest a greater portion of its assets in a single company. A non-diversified fund's share price can be expected to fluctuate more than that of a comparable diversified fund.For a more detailed description of OFLEX's investment guidelines and risk factors, please refer to the prospectus. Consider the investment objectives, risks, and charges and expenses carefully before investing or sending money. For a free prospectus containing this and other information, call 1-800-541-5299 or visit www.oflexfund.com. Read it carefully.Additional Disclosure Information

sec.govFor a more detailed description of OCREDIT's investment guidelines and risk factors, please refer to the prospectus. Consider the investment objectives, risks, and charges and expenses carefully before investing or sending money. For a free prospectus containing this and other information, call 1-855-405-6488 or visit www.ocreditfund.com. Read it carefully.OCREDIT is a BDC, which offers individual investors access to private lending, historically only accessible to institutions and high-net-worth investors. At least 70% of a BDC's investments must be in U.S. private companies with less than $250 million in market capitalization.OCREDIT is a non-exchange traded BDC that expects to invest at least 80% of its total assets (net assets plus borrowings for investment purposes) in private credit investments. An investment in OCREDIT involves a high degree of risk. An investor should purchase securities of OCREDIT only if they can afford the complete loss of the investment.Neither the SEC nor any state securities regulator has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Securities regulators have also not passed upon whether this offering can be sold in compliance with existing or future suitability or Regulation Best Interest standard to any or all purchasers.For OCREDIT's full historical performance figures, please visit https://www.troweprice.com/en/us/ocredit/performance for more information.As of December 31, 2025, OCREDIT is available in 54 states and territories.As of December 31, 2025, OCREDIT is not registered for offer or sale outside of the United States.BDCs may charge management fees, incentive fees, as well as other fees associated with servicing loans. These fees will detract from the total return. OCREDIT may in certain circumstances invest in companies experiencing distress increasing the risk of default or failure. OCREDIT is not listed on an exchange which heightens liquidity risk for an investor. OCREDIT has limited prior operating history and there is no assurance that it will achieve its investment objectives. The Company's public offering is a "blind pool" offering and thus investors will not have the opportunity to evaluate the Company's investments before they are made. Investors should not expect to be able to sell shares regardless of performance and should consider that they may not have access to the money invested for an extended period of time and may be unable to reduce their exposure in a market downturn. OCREDIT employs leverage, which increases the volatility of OCREDIT's investments and will magnify the potential for loss. Fixed-income securities are subject to credit risk, call risk, and interest rate risk. As interest rates rise, bond prices fall. Investments in high-yield bonds involve greater risk than higher rated bonds. International investments can be riskier than U.S. investments and subject to foreign exchange risk. OCREDIT is "non-diversified," meaning it may invest a greater portion of its assets in a single company. OCREDIT's share price can be expected to fluctuate more than that of a comparable diversified fund. OCREDIT may invest in derivatives, which may be riskier or more volatile than other types of investments because they are generally more sensitive to changes in market or economic conditions.Account opening and closing fees may apply depending on the amount invested and the timing of the account closure. There may be costs associated with the investments in the account such as periodic management fees, incentive fees, loads, other expenses or brokerage commissions. Fees for optional services may also apply.Opinions and estimates offered herein constitute the judgment of OHA as of the date this document is provided to an investor and are subject to change as are statements about market trends. All opinions and estimates are based on assumptions, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the control of OHA.
