Quarterly Outlook
Macro Outlook: The US rate cut cycle has begun
Peter Garnry
Chief Investment Strategist
Summary: Our fourth Dragon Interview takes us back to checking in with AVM's Global Macro CIO Ashvin Murthy - Ash walks us through his latest top of mind thoughts, including positioning in the shifting market regime, inflation, real yields, no YCC, the Fed & the potential US dominance theme - which judging by where the DXY & gold closed on Fri Mar 26, at 92.766 & 1732.52 is still largely mispriced by the market.
A US dominance theme should see much strong US Dollar (DXY easily back above 94 to 96 lvls), gold getting hosed potentially back to $1580/$1530 lvls -9% to -12%, as well as US equities outperforming Emerging Markets & Euro-Zone equities, plus higher US bond yields & overall higher real rates. In addition to US economic data, the Fed meetings of Apr 28 & especially Jun 16 are going to be pivotal..
Join the Dragon Interviews series, as Global Macro Consigliere KVP, interviews some of the best of breed players in the craft of steadily compounding wealth - be that across liquid or illiquid assets, global macro investing, venture capital, crypto, equities, commodities, currencies, bonds, private equity, property, etc.
Its all about the craft & the exceptional talented individuals behind their craft.
We originally published this interview on Wed 17 Mar 21, before the Fed meeting that later saw them upgrade their US GDP expectations to +6% - a figure that Ashvin feels could be passed.

We touch on a number of things, including:
