Why do you say that? Earnings and margins are the best real time productivity indicator and they are on fire.

This was my view back on May 11th and still my view now.

The narrow window for a cut was in June.

Guy Berger Joins Pinebrookcap for a discussion about the U.S. labor market. Get after future potential evolutions.

Dave Cervantes (@pinebrookcap.bsky.social ) is one of my fave people on FinTwit, and we've had an offline and ongoing conversation about macro for quite some time. (He can confirm how often I'm wrong.)

Nice to share some of that convo with the rest of you!

Maybe this will persist due to regime change.

Maybe they get more stretched and stay there.

But the money tree roulette table doesn’t always work in one direction unless the game has changed.

Maybe it has. But so far it’s just politicians talking.

Now. Here is the crazy thing. These things are looking stretched.

China and Europe are at negative 2 standard deviations compared to short USA.

Japan over 1-sigma. And EMM is approaching 1-sigma.

I think the key insight was in contextualizing the outperformance vs the foreign selloff of Q4 2024, using a 100d rolling average, with the following conclusion.

Lots of folks very excited about the foreign vs USA trades, which has been a home run YTD.

This was explored in the newsletter back in Feb, and published on 2/19 the day SPX made its local peak.

Trash spreads inform us that the pricing of the lowest and riskiest credits within the investment grade and high yield universe has actually IMPROVED.

Now ask yourself why that would happen if growth and inflation were going to fall apart?

Credit markets don’t think growth or inflation will go off the rails.

Trash spreads in IG and HY have actually improved a smidgen since December 4th.

The good news is we can triangulate growth and inflation using other mkt instruments.

Other than inflation and growth, no one REALLY knows. It’s guess work and opinion, and mutual sharing of these views by participants.
