How the G7 Meeting Exposes the Risks for 2024

By Cam Hui

  • The agenda of the G7 highlights the rising risk of a new Cold War 2.0 that decouples China from the West. 
  • Tensions are likely to rise in 2024 as U.S. electoral politics will encourage both sides to show how tough they are on China. 
  • Under such a scenario, the global economy would be split into a China bloc and a U.S. bloc that resolves in global stagflation  

Weekly Market Monitor – Week 19 Macro Momentum Is Fading, but Market Momentum Is Building.

By Jeroen Blokland

  • AI-Hyped US Equities are not off the hook. The US Leading Indicator dropped for the 13th consecutive month, taking the index further into recessionary territory.
  • The rally in Big Tech stocks hides that only just over one-third of NASDAQ stocks are trading above their 200-day moving average, the threshold between positive and negative future returns.
  • Singapore electronics exports were down a whopping 23.3% year-on-year in April, indicating a severe decline in global earnings-per-share numbers.

Europe Bull 2023 = FANG Bull 2008?

By Cam Hui

  • Stocks staged a relative upside breakout against global stocks from multi-year bases, which makes us bullish on the region. 
  • An analysis of the region shows that different sources of underlying strength are sustainable into the future. 
  • The possibility exists that this could be the start of a major bull leg in Europe, much like how the U.S. FANGs led global markets in 2008.
