We are once again struck by the contradiction between careful data analysis and changing narratives regarding market direction. In our 4Q23 review, we noted that the idea of futures markets and market participants expecting 6-7 interest rate cuts by the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) over the course of the year made little sense absent a complete economic meltdown. As it turns out, we may end up with zero cuts by the FOMC, with the market currently pricing in only two. This rapid and significant increase in yields has been evident. While the market’s anticipation of large Fed Funds rate reductions has disappeared, many fixed income markets continue to predict smooth sailing with no storm clouds on the horizon. However, we have also noted in previous outlooks that some corners of the market (though very few) are beginning to prepare for foul weather. https://lnkd.in/esAfF--E

In our recent paper diving deep into the asset allocations of Japanese institutional and household investors (This Time is Different in Japan, But Maybe Not for the Reasons You Think), we discussed how the demand curve for Japanese equities appears likely to have shifted higher given changes in the risk preferences of Japanese households. While this should change the expected long-term valuations on Japanese equities, fundamental active managers focus largely on the value created by individual holdings and their expected returns to shareholders. Here too, there is reason to be bullish on Japanese equities, due to market reforms and interventions over the past decade. In this note, we will recap those reforms we see as most relevant for global stock pickers, followed by insights from a selection of our high conviction boutique managers. https://lnkd.in/ezxi4nZ8

Financial conditions have improved, GDP numbers look promising, corporate earnings have been better than anticipated, labor market conditions remain strong, manufacturing has increased, and market breadth has expanded. However, this has happened alongside higher-than-expected inflation figures, a rise in consumer debt, a fall in consumer spending, and dropping levels of consumer confidence. As we enter the second quarter of the year, market participants appear to be performing a balancing act on a tightrope amidst the crosscurrents of the macroeconomic data flow. https://lnkd.in/eRZxswRQ
