Hedgeye’s macro team has been bearish (and correct) on European equities throughout 2018, and the Euro versus the dollar since April. Both market calls were made well ahead of consensus.

Hedgeye Risk-Manager-In-Chief Keith McCullough explains that while investors have missed a portion of the move this year, there is still plenty of downside in Europe that will be expedited by secular and demographic headwinds.
“It’s a less contrarian position,” McCullough explains.
“But a less contrarian position doesn’t necessarily mean a less good position. Even though consensus has come my way a little bit, the ECB definitely has not come my way – a lot.”
