In this edition of Macro Mentoring, Hedgeye CEO Keith McCullough takes pen to paper to discuss how our process interprets recent developments in economies, such as Turkey and Japan, currencies, like the euro and yen, and simplifying the complexities of asset class volatility.

In the video above, McCullough and Senior Macro analyst Darius Dale discuss:

  • How We Model Global Economies: Why Turkish economic growth and inflation is slowing and both measures are accelerating in Japan
  • Using Our Risk Ranges: Why it doesn’t matter whether you’re trading the euro, cattle or Apple (APPL), our proprietary risk ranges are interpreted the same way (Learn more about our Daily Trading Ranges product HERE.)
  • How Long Can The Reflation Trade Last: When will the drivers of inflation stop accelerating?
  • The Difference Between Implied & Realized Volatility: How to interpret extreme measures of complacency and anxiety and what that tells you about a developing bullish or bearish setup
  • Learning From the Bear Market of 2002: Is the current U.S. stock market setup more like the stock market crash of 1987 or the economic bottoming of 2002?
