Market Regime Update

1. Assets rebounded this week, with stocks, bonds, and gold all up on the week. Commodities showed mixed performance, with significant losses during the start of the week weighing on performance. Image
2. Recent #treasury strength continued the recent chop in the market, i.e., moving counter to the recent one-month trend. Below, we show the composition of total treasury market returns over the last month: Image
3. As we can see above, treasuries across the curve continue to show weakness as nominal #GDP continues to show resilience. At the same time, #equity markets continue to show lopsided performance over the past month, primarily driven by valuations rising: Image
4. The combination of these moves has improved the odds of a rising #growth market regime over the last month. These changes continue to keep the distribution of market regime probabilities as highlighted below: Image
5. Our non-linear trend process has worked well in navigating these conflicting market regime dynamics. Updates on these signals are shared below:

6. Finally, while S&P 500 trend strength remains strong, we think it is important to recognize that there is significant dispersion within the index. Below, we show equity-sector trend signals. Image

1/ Enter Crisis Protection Program Image
2/ For a variety of reasons, many investors want to maintain passive exposure to the S&P 500. But the stock market can go through periods of very weak performance.

Our Prometheus Crisis Protection Program seeks to offer a diversifier during these periods of underperformance.. Image
3/ It does so by rotating between gold, TIPS, and VIX futures.

Is The Current Labor/Output Relationship Sustainable?

In recent months, employment has softened significantly after a period of strength. This has often prompted the question as to whether activity will fall to reflect this weaker employment growth.

1/1 9 We evaluate 🧵 Image
2/

As ever, before we describe mechanics before diving into these observations.

The core principle that drives this thread is that labor market growth via employment is the dominant driver of sustainable long-term growth in the economy.

This is because labor both earns….
3/ … and spends, and is the center point of economic activity.

Given this centrality of employment growth, it is rare in the macro economy for output to meaningfully deviate from labor market growth.

If output deviates from employment growth for a time, it is usually…
