Episode notes
INSIGHT

Fed's Focus on Inflation

  • The Federal Reserve likely made the right decision by prioritizing inflation despite strong economic growth.
  • This is because four consecutive months of sticky core CPI prints suggest inflation isn't transitory.
INSIGHT

China's Disinflationary Impact

  • China's rapid slowdown and potential balance sheet recession could exert significant disinflationary pressure globally.
  • However, housing CPI data might remain sticky due to its lagged nature.
ADVICE

Market Positioning and Volatility

  • Be cautious with market positioning due to high sentiment, leverage, low volatility, and low correlations, creating a potential for volatility spikes.
  • Consider short-dated positions and wait for clearer market signals before deploying significant capital.
