“We do not believe this decoupling will be sustainable. Either the rest of the equities must come under pressure or the financial sector must rally.”

The “double whammy” problem.
Color me skeptical. Curb your enthusiasm. And all that…
“There are many ‘canaries’ that are starting to ‘fall over’ – hence we are deeply concerned about current market conditions. “
“For the first time since the start of 2016 (when the risk-on phase started), dollar liquidity has rolled over.”
“Typically when positions are as large as they are currently, the risk is that if the prevailing narrative of the time does not play out perfectly, violent reversals will ensue.”
“The major opposing forces in 2018 will be contracting global liquidity vs synchronized global growth. Our view is that the former will be the bigger force, and will drive asset returns in 2018.”
“The shortage of dollars is a longer-term structural problem for the world.”
“Our fair value model indicates these pressures will push the US10yr up to 3.00%. The latter level is also the major support line coming all the way from the late 1980s.”
“The Fed might be the trigger for tighter financial conditions, but not the cause (as we believe the risk-on phase is very close to being over).”
“We believe that this risk-on phase (that started in January 2016) is coming to an end.”
“Throw enough cheap money at the problem, and people will find a way. I can’t tell you where. I can’t tell you when. But I am confident that eventually, people will borrow.”
