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. Global Policy Pivot: we share a set of charts that present a fresh perspective on the "tailwinds in transition" - including a surprising look at the move in developed market monetary conditions.
2. Global ex-US vs US Equities: Reviewing the outlook, especially in terms of valuations.
3. Global ex-US – Sector Significance: We dig into a little-understood facet of global equities - the importance of sectors: these insights are non-obvious and likely to play a key role in the risk/return outlook.
4. Dividend Futures: A refresh of our analysis on this obscure market: the previous large valuation gaps have closed up significantly; yet much like the equities, we see better relative value in UK/Europe vs US dividend futures markets.
5. Frontier Markets: this pocket of global equities has been surprising in its performance over the last few months: we review the tactical + strategic outlook.
