Weekly Macro Themes - 12 August 2022

Here's a brief overview of the topics and charts covered in the latest edition of the Weekly Macro Themes report. I send this report out late Friday NZ time and aim to cover a good mix of macro/ideas/risk topics, across a global macro/multi-asset universe.

This week I covered the following topics/ideas:

1. Global Equity Technicals: Despite some improvement in the short-term technicals (notably EM), not looking to chase the rally given longer-term bear market signals and no clearing of macro headwinds. Check out the key charts and signals we are watching...

2. Treasuries: Review of the outlook for bond yields given critical developments in technicals, valuations, sentiment, and macro/risk outlook.

3. Stock/Bond Ratio: A look at the suite of indicators for stocks vs bonds, as well as some thoughts on scenarios and asset allocation implications.

4. Value vs Growth: Remain constructive on value vs growth given still compelling relative value, but wary of technicals...

5. Frontier Markets: Change in view on frontier market equities given valuations, technicals, strategic outlook and FX situation. Get in touch/subscribe for more detail!
