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 management topics, across a global macro/multi-asset universe.
This week I covered the following topics/ideas:
1. Treasuries: Continue to lean bearish treasuries given expensive valuations, divergence vs macro/market variables, and initial reset in sentiment; but awaiting a catalyst(s) to trigger a move.
2. REITs: Overall prefer to remain neutral given the preponderance of mixed signals. Check out the charts we're watching to gauge the risk vs return outlook.
3. Property: Property price inflation is surging and developed market residential real estate valuations have surpassed all previous record highs (thanks to the pandemic policy response).
4. Small Caps: US small caps are starting to look interesting again after a big reset in relative performance, relative valuations, and capitulation in flows/positioning.
5. European Equities: Remain optimistic on European equities given solid macro and price momentum, clear relative value, and bullish medium-term bias on the EURUSD.
