Topics & Takeaways
1. Inflation: Globally inflation remains high but peaking on some metrics; economic downdrafts likely drive disinflation in 2023, but still way too early to talk monetary easing (by the Fed).
2. Credit: Tighter bank lending standards, tighter financial conditions, and weakening economic outlook all suggest caution on credit.
3. US Dollar: Bearish US dollar given expensive valuations, overcrowded sentiment/positioning, and anticipated progressive removal of the previous powerful pillars of support.
4. AEJ Equities: The value story is falling into place for Asian equities, but the macro/cycle aspects are not playing along yet; also waiting/watching for more compelling China catalysts.
5. EM ex-Asia Equities: Also seeing a solid value setup for Emerging ex-Asia, but not enough to favour one over the other; rather = important evidence as part of the emerging picture for EM equities in general.
