大規模な原油ショックのような急性の地政学的リスクは和らぎつつあるかもしれません。しかし、構造的な地政学的リスクは依然として高い水準にあり、楽天的な市場を混乱させる可能性があります。米国が減速し、中国が引き続き苦戦する中、循環的な経済リスクは過小評価されています。投資家は、関税実施や厳しい経済データの減速を見越して利益確定を検討すべきです。

投資家はポートフォリオにおいて株式を控えめにアンダーウェイトにし、不況の具体的な兆しが見え次第、より積極的にディフェンシブな姿勢に転じるべきです。私たちはこれが数ヶ月以内に起こると考えています。

While we anticipate higher inflation in June, it looks increasingly likely that the price impact from tariffs will be less aggressive and long-lasting than many feared.

Bond market volatility will spike again in the near term. The Fed is committed to an easing cycle yet the Trump administration’s signature fiscal policy action will stimulate the economy. Tariffs are supposed to keep the budget deficit contained but they are inflationary. 

The US economy has held up better so far this year than we had expected. For the time being, investors should remain modestly underweight equities. A more aggressive underweight would be justified only once the “whites of the recession’s eyes” are visible.

In our Beta report, we focus on our decade view. Many of our global allocator clients are scrambling to incorporate geopolitics into their strategic asset allocation. For most, this means thinking about war… or about future end-states. This is a mistake. We consider the next five years (maybe a decade) as the transition to the new era, a transition away from American unipolarity. And the transition itself is investment relevant. A transition to a multipolar world – which we think is occurring – will crush the USD and favor non-US assets. A transition to a bipolar world – not our base case, but still possible – would do the opposite.
