In this first presentation of 2025, we start with an overview of the 2025 outlook webcast polls, and a brief post-mortem of the 2024 market performance. Then, we shift gears and examine what is behind the recent surge in bond yields and its implications for equities. We also review market technicals and positioning and conclude with a list of trades to prepare our portfolio for continued moves in yields.

Los inversores han renunciado a los activos europeos, que ahora cotizan con descuentos excepcionales respecto a los activos estadounidenses. Sin embargo, una política fiscal estadounidense más restrictiva, el fin de la austeridad y del desapalancamiento en Europa, el tsunami de GNL a punto de golpear las costas europeas y el capex global impulsado por la Tríada Geopolítica Imposible significan que el momento de gloria de Europa pronto volverá.
Investors have given up on European assets, which now suffer exceptional discounts to US ones.
