Mix By Horizon

Flipped
Fed Policy
BEARISH HIGHER
US policy rates are likely to rise within months as elevated two-year Treasury yields signal tightening and strong nominal growth pushes market rates higher. Month
New Views
Liquidity
LOWER
Global liquidity growth has peaked and is rolling over, with the cycle unlikely to bottom before mid-to-late 2027 despite elevated absolute liquidity levels. Year
SPY
BEARISH
Risk asset markets face a difficult period as stronger economic activity, fading liquidity and prospective Federal Reserve tightening recreate conditions unfavorable for equities. Month
GLD
BULLISH
Gold should continue attracting demand as China expands liquidity to manage domestic debt, with Chinese monetary conditions increasingly setting global gold pricing. Year
BTC
BEARISH
Crypto remains under pressure as global and Federal Reserve liquidity fade, while gold benefits from China-driven liquidity expansion and outperforms monetary hedges. Month
CPER
HIGHER
Commodity demand should strengthen through 2027 as global real-economy expansion continues well after the liquidity peak, favoring industrial commodities over financial assets. Year
TLT
BEARISH
Ten-year Treasury yields could test 6% in the not-too-distant future as accelerating nominal GDP growth pulls underlying US interest rates higher. Month
DXY
BEARISH
The dollar would weaken if Treasury funding shifts further toward bills, a policy response that would also amplify front-end liquidity pressures. Month
USO
BULLISH
Oil prices are likely to rise significantly as strong real-economy activity boosts commodity demand and the gold-oil ratio moves toward long-run mean reversion. Month
Growth
HIGHER
The real economy is stronger and more robust than widely envisioned, with global expansion expected to continue well into 2027 and possibly early 2028. Year
GLD
BULLISH
Gold prices in US dollar terms are set to skyrocket over the medium term as China expands liquidity and advanced economies monetize growing debt burdens. Month
Inflation
HIGHER
US nominal GDP acceleration driven by fiscal spending, AI investment, deglobalization, and inventory building implies both stronger activity growth and higher inflation. Month
Fiscal & Treasury
HIGHER
Treasury bill funding could rise toward 30% of outstanding US federal debt, materially increasing short-dated issuance from already elevated levels. Month
Positioning & Vol
BEARISH
The liquidity cycle has moved from a broad beta-friendly phase into a more selective, turbulent regime with high volatility and poorer-quality asset-market returns. Month
Held
SPY
BEARISH
The S&P faces a generally range-bound year with limited upside and downside risk as slowing liquidity pressures valuations and financial-market returns. Year
TLT
BEARISH
Long bonds face further weakness as strong nominal GDP growth and slowing financial liquidity keep upward pressure on Treasury yields. Year
CPER
HIGHER
Commodity markets should rise as strong real-economy demand absorbs liquidity from financial assets, with commodity strength signaling an ongoing economic boom. Month
Growth
HIGHER
US growth remains exceptionally strong, with Atlanta Fed GDPNow near 6% real Q3 growth supported by fiscal deficits and AI capital expenditure. Month
Fiscal & Treasury
HIGHER
Fiscal deficits should remain elevated as aging populations, populism, defense needs, and geopolitical competition prevent Western governments from slowing spending. Year
SLV
BULLISH
Silver prices should strengthen alongside gold as Chinese monetary expansion renews momentum across the precious-metals complex and supports further demand. Year
