Weekly Macro Themes - 23 October 2020
Here's a brief overview of the topics and charts covered in the latest edition of the Weekly Macro Themes report (the flagship report of our institutional research service). I put this report out weekly late Friday NZ time and aim to cover a good mix of macro/ideas/risk management topics, across a global macro/multi-asset universe.
This week I covered the following topics/ideas:
1. China Macro/Policy: The improving macro backdrop has made for a mixed policy picture in China, but the bigger policy shift could come next week as we learn more about the new “Dual Circulation” model.
2. US Treasuries: The initial break higher in treasury yields could go further given the numerous bullish macro divergences, expensive valuations, and lopsided sentiment/positioning.
3. US Dollar: Despite the possibility of a short-term rally (given sentiment, technicals, positioning, seasonality), remain bearish medium-term given valuations, fundamentals, policy, politics.
4. Global ex-US vs US Equities: Remain bullish medium-term global ex-US vs US given the substantial and widespread valuation discount, long-term cycles, capital market assumptions, and USD outlook.
5. Frontier Markets: Remain bullish FM equities given the strategic outlook, valuations, technicals, and FX.
