Imagine you were in the “inflation slows, buy Tech” camp? Clearly no clue about a #Quad4 Profit Recession

  1. JGB 10yr Japanese Gov Yield ramped +8bps overnight (that’s a lot) to 0.49% as A) the Cost of Capital, Globally, continues to Regime Shift higher and B) Liquidity continues to dry up, globally – LIVE shot of the Fed Pivot (higher) = UST 2yr Yield ramps to 4.47% and the Yield Curve just got buried back down to -75bps n 10s/2s
  2. USD Top Macro Chart Monkey “trades for 2023” were A) Short USD and B) Buy Yield Curve Steepeners. #AWFUL. Especially if today’s US Wages remain ramped, USD should signal immediate-term TRADE #overbought today, so book-SOME gains so that you can be there buying-MORE USD next time the chartists get excited!
  3. COMMODITIES if Tom Lee is long the “inflation slowing” narrative, why isn’t he Short Oil, Energy, and Commodities, as an Asset Class vs. Long Gold and Silver (up +0.8% off yesterday’s buy-MORE RTA Signal)? Asking for some objective, process-driven, friends… as the #Quad4 Crash in the CRB Commodities Index moves to lower-lows (-21% from June’s Inflation Cycle Peak)

Immediate-term @Hedgeye Risk Ranges: SP500 = 3; UST 10yr Yield = 3.60-3.95%
