Macro: It’s all about elections and keeping status quo
Markets are driven by election optimism, overshadowing growing debt and liquidity concerns. The 2024 elections loom large, but economic fundamentals and debt issues warrant cautious investment.

Global Macro Reflections | Manifestations: Potential implications of impeachment investigations
No clear near-term market impact (to KVP at least), yes it creates more noise & uncertainty… yet not too surprising given it is Trump
It’s worth noting that Pelosi has been hesitant about the democrats pursuing an impeachment investigation of Trump
Yet, her hand & voice were finally forced last week
We now have increased probability that Trump will get more erratic (more pressure on him) & volatile – this likely increases the probability of:
Andrew Johnson who was impeached in 1868, Richard Nixon who resigned during the process & Bill Clinton (the original Teflon Don) in 1998 who was acquitted by the, then Democrat-controlled Senate.
Greater China Focus – Focus again on Oct 1st 70th National Day & Summary of Recent Measures Taken by China over last few quarters. Also focuses on recent rhetoric by US officials to potentially restrict CH companies from listing in the US. US listed Chinese company have been under pressure lately
