🕜 Economic calendar

Here are this week’s red folder news events. US CPI (inflation) on Wednesday and PPI on Thursday are the biggest events of the week. A hot print in particular could send the markets into a spin, and Trump on the defensive, if it is perceived that his tariffs are going to increase inflation. A very important number to watch this week.

📈 The Macro View

Extreme Fear....but not too extreme yet

Last week overall market sentiment ticked into ‘Extreme Fear’ territory. We have not moved deeper though, so there is further room to run should equities deteriorate further from here. This indicator is typically used a contrarian indicator, to buy when the markets are fearful and sell when people are greedy.

No capitulation yet

As with all indictors, they cannot be taken in isolation. When market sentiment is in ‘Extreme Fear’ territory, we would expect to see high amounts of selling before the market finally capitulates and we make a bottom. So far, we have not seen anything like this, in fact positioning on Goldman Sach’s Prime book has only just started to register any selling at all! Could have plenty more room to run before the bottom is in.

Seasonality about to kick in

Nasdaq100 seasonality on a 20 year lookback, has tracked closely to what the market has done this year so far. This week, is typically when equities take off and start delivering returns.

Gold FOMO kicking in

With equities down and global uncertainty high, Gold has been the place to be this year. This has not gone un-noticed though as last week saw the biggest ever 4 week rolling inflows into gold.

OK guys that’s it for this week. Stay safe out there and see ya next week!
