🇺🇸#bonds #us #correlaton Experts sees another signal pointing to a potential rise in US interest rates (more signals here and here) is the correlation between the XLE/TLT ratio (the energy sector relative to long-term bonds) and the 30-year US Treasury yield. 🔜 The correlation between them is nearly flawless, but a divergence has formed between these two indicators since the beginning of this year. The XLE/TLT ratio has surged. However, the 30-year bond yield has failed to support this move. Historically, the XLE/TLT ratio has always served as a reliable leading indicator for long-term Treasury yields. 🔜 The economic logic is simple: the outperformance of energy stocks (XLE) over bonds (TLT) signals capital inflows into commodity markets and rising inflationary expectations. Expensive oil pushes inflation upward, and yields obediently follow inflation. 🔜 If the correlation holds in the future, we can expect long-term Treasury yields to rise by 100–120 basis points over the next 12 months. 🔜 Then again, the leading indicator could be mistaken. In this case, energy stocks (XLE) must correct downward quickly and sharply, removing the need for yields to rise. 🌟 Subscribe

🇺🇸#stocks #us #strategy #smallcap BofA examined 36 years of data and identified the top-performing factor for investing in US small-cap stocks (Russell 2000 Index). The strategy is straightforward: take the entire index and select the top 20% of companies with the highest FCF/EV ratio. This metric measures how much free cash flow a business generates relative to its enterprise value (market cap + debt - cash). Buying this top quintile and regularly rebalancing the portfolio yielded an average of around 16% annually, consistently outperforming the broader market. Other cash-flow-driven metrics also demonstrated strong investment performance.

🇺🇸#etf #stocks #us #seasonality #VIX Historically, US market volatility tends to rise at the beginning of summer, although a more significant upward trend typically materializes by mid-summer. Positions on both rising and falling S&P 500 volatility can be taken through the following ETFs:

🇺🇸#monetarypolicy #us #earnings #correlation #history A rare and unusual situation. Expected US corporate earnings (green line) have shot up dramatically, while the 12-month change in interest rates (white line), on the contrary, has moved lower or stalled at the zero mark. When business is booming and corporate profits are rising (green line is soaring), the Central Bank (Fed) almost always raises interest rates (making the white line rise as well) to prevent the economy from "overheating." The chart shows that the current situation is unique. Historical experience suggests that either corporate earnings will soon drop, or interest rates will have to rise again to catch up with this rapid growth. ————————————— The bond market is already betting on higher interest rates in the US.

🇺🇸#monetarypolicy #bonds #stocks #us #correlation #history For the past 30 years, there’s been a clear rule: as soon as the US 2-year yield rises above the Fed funds rate, the central bank is guaranteed to keep hiking. For the stock market, these rate hikes always trigger a sell-off. Eventually, the economy slows down, and bond yields head back down — BCA Research

🌎#etf #stocks #latam #history Morgan Stanley believes that the long-term outlook for the Latin American equity market looks promising, driven by close economic ties with the US and the active development of the commodity and agricultural sectors. Additional growth drivers include fiscal consolidation, monetary easing, and structural reforms—measures designed to restore investor confidence and crowd in private capital. #analogy The bank emphasizes that the region's current bull market is still in its early innings and sees great similarities to the 2003–2007 boom, which was triggered at the time by China's entry into the WTO.

🇺🇸#stocks #us #history The market recently witnessed an extremely rare event. 🔜 Nasdaq Composite closed in the red for 10 out of the last 11 trading weeks. What makes this situation truly unique is that the index has never fallen for 11 consecutive weeks in its entire history—the losing streak has always been broken before reaching that mark. 🔜 Since the index’s inception in 1971, such prolonged periods of decline have occurred only four times, and each instance served as a defining moment for the trend. 🔜 Since the index’s inception in 1971, such prolonged periods of decline have occurred only four times, and each instance served as a defining moment for the trend. 🔜 Three out of four cases (including 1990, 2002, and 2022): This dynamic occurred almost exactly at the market bottom, preceding a powerful reversal and the start of a new bull cycle. 🔜 The fourth case (1970s): During the prolonged oil shock, a similar losing streak hit right in the middle of the market crash, after which the decline continued further. 🔜 Today, we are seeing something remarkably similar. The key question for investors remains: will the current level mark a historic turning point as it did in most cases, or is the market headed for the grueling "1970s scenario"? 🔜 🔜 ➡️ ➡️

🌎#meddleeast #conflict #bonds #stocks #gold #seasonality #history DB: as the war in the Middle East continues, the prospect of a meaningful stagflationary shock has seen many assets follow a similar playbook to the oil shocks of 2022 and the 1970s. Most obviously, there’s been a synchronised decline across global bonds and equities. 🌟 Subscribe
