Japan Machine Tool Orders, the best leading indicator of the global industrial cycle, accelerated in January. And recent data suggest the backlog at Los Angeles Port may begin to ease by summer.

Darius shares his thoughts on a murky macro picture and how specific assets are likely to perform under various scenarios. Want to submit questions?
