ユーロ圏および中国の金利は、金融政策が過度に制約的になるのを防ぐために、さらに大幅に引き下げられる必要があります。しかし、トランプ氏がFRBに不当な利下げを強いる試みは、債券ビジランテからの激しい反発を引き起こすリスクを伴います。
マクロ経済の逆風にもかかわらず、OBBBAは産業株、金融株、および一般消費財株のエクイティセクターを明確に支持しています。これらのセクターにおける十分に構築された、ファクターを意識したバスケットは、財政主導の不確実な環境においてアウトパフォームする良いポジションにあります。
トランプ政権の移民政策は、米国経済を失業率の急上昇から守りつつも、「ミニスタグフレーション」に向かわせている。また、新たな戦術的トレードとして、グローバルテクノロジー（IXN）をアンダーウェイトすることが提案されている。
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.
Right now, the major stock and bond markets are more ‘anti-fragile’ than fragile, and the Joshi rule recession indicators signal that a US recession is not imminent. This justifies a neutral, or default, tactical weighting to both stocks and bonds until a major market does become fragile, or until recession risk elevates. The one major price trend that is fragile is the 65-day selloff in the US dollar, which justifies a tactical overweighting to the dollar.
This year’s plunge in tech stocks followed by the recent strong countertrend rally is eerily reminiscent of 2000. But the market and economic parallels between 2025 and in 2000 run much deeper. This report lists 10 striking parallels between 2025 and 2020, then highlights some important differences, and ends by describing how the rest of 2025 might unfold based on a playbook that is: 2025 = ‘2000 with some tweaks.’
The policy-induced decline in consumer confidence has spread to businesses and investors, increasing the probability of a recession even if the administration reverses field on its aggressive tariff measures. We reiterate our defensive asset allocation recommendations.
Today, we publish our Quarterly Model Bond Portfolio report. We discuss how the trade war has further increased the global recession risk, but US Treasuries could underperform their global peers in the near term. We cover the fixed income investment implications in the short run and which bond markets are poised to outperform in a severe economic downturn.
Although there may be a method to DOGE’s 100-mile-an-hour madness, we think the worries and uncertainty stoked by it and on-again, off-again tariff measures have increased the probability of a recession while bringing forward its start date. We are therefore tactically downgrading equities to underweight and upgrading fixed income and cash to overweight. Investors should pursue a defensive posture.
