The picture is unchanged: Darius Dale sees equities supported by productivity-led margin expansion, incoming liquidity and under-positioning, while $GLD and $BTC remain longer-term hedges against financial repression and monetary debasement. The key tension is rates: long-duration bonds face higher yields absent intervention or further Fed tightening, but a Strait of Hormuz exit could lower neutral rates, ease policy and reverse that bond pressure. He also separates broad equity upside from late-cycle risks around AI overbuilding and China’s structural advantages in the technology race.

1 Year
Held
BTC
BULLISH
Cryptocurrencies remain a long-standing bullish position because they protect portfolios against monetary debasement rather than representing a fresh call. Year
SPY
BULLISH
The equity market has substantial upside as a coiled spring, with the advance potentially persisting through 2027 and perhaps into 2028. Year
AI
BEARISH
AI capex bubbles are likely to fuel frenzied overbuilding, complex debt financing, and disruption of legacy industries later in this market cycle. Year
Earnings
BULLISH
Productivity boom and jobless recovery dynamics should drive margin expansion, supporting multiple expansion as part of the equity market’s upside through 2027. Year
Liquidity
HIGHER
Liquidity is on the way and should support multiple rerating, with Treasury or Federal Reserve interventions likely if 10-year yields continue rising. Year
TLT
BEARISH
10-year Treasury yields are below modeled fair value of 6.04% and likely will rise unless policy intervention caps yields or the Fed hikes two to three times. Year
Fed Policy
TIGHTER
The Federal Reserve may need to hike two to three more times to truncate its accommodative policy bias if rising Treasury yields are not capped by intervention. Year
GLD
BULLISH
Gold remains a long-standing bullish position because it protects portfolios against financial repression rather than representing a fresh call. Year
Positioning & Vol

BULLISH

Tariffs & Geopolitics
BEARISH

Gone
