Post our foundation piece with Global Macro Hedge Fund AVM's Ashvin Murthy in Oct of 2020, we catch up with Ash to get his latest thoughts as we head into a likely series of very key Fed meetings in regards to them being neutral, vs potentially hiking, vs the YCC route.

We touch on a number of things, including:

  • Bond yields & real interest rate levels - including context from previous ranges

  • Inflation & deflationary forces

  • Powell doing a great job at the Fed, letting the market doing the heavy lifting

  • Biden administration & the corp. taxes on the way, as a function of funding infra.

  • Red hot US economy, all pre the full opening of the country & still with a cold 1Q21 winter, plus with latest +$1.9 trn bill

  • Yield curve control (YCC) likely in the pit-stop for a while

  • US exceptionalism & the risks to emerging markets, especially the fragile five 

  • The broader global macro regime that we find ourselves in
