Content Sample
Macro Thesis in Action

"Shifting abruptly from an easing cycle to a tightening cycle in just two weeks is a rapid and significant change. It has sent bond market volatility soaring, which is not supportive of equities.

Even a move back to something resembling the median P/E over the past 15 years would imply significant further downside — and that's the P/E alone, before considering earnings revisions."

— From daily market commentary, March 2026
Cross-Asset Macro Lens

Rates & Central Banks

Fed funds futures, ECB and BoE rate pricing, yield curve dynamics, and real vs. nominal rate decomposition.

Volatility & Positioning

Identifying when technical flows will amplify or dampen fundamental moves — the mechanics beneath the surface.

Macro Regime Identification
