Our models indicate the persistence of a dominant economic regime characterized by Stagflation in the United States and Canada, while Europe displays steady signs of Reflation. Despite these structural pressures, global market sentiment remains in a dynamic ๐‘…๐‘–๐‘ ๐‘˜ ๐‘‚๐‘› phase, supported by a positioning that reveals a prevalence of buy signals over sell signals. In this environment, I maintain an active and rotational management approach to capture liquidity flows while mitigating systemic risks. ๐„๐œ๐จ๐ง๐จ๐ฆ๐ข๐œ ๐‚๐š๐ฅ๐ž๐ง๐๐š๐ซ ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐–๐ž๐ž๐ค (๐‰๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐Ÿ” - ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ, ๐Ÿ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ”) Here are the 5 key macroeconomic events I will be watching closely due to their potential to spark market volatility: โ€ข ๐Œ๐จ๐ง๐๐š๐ฒ, ๐‰๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐Ÿ”, ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ“:๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ“ โ€“ ๐”๐’: ๐’๐ž๐ซ๐ฏ๐ข๐œ๐ž๐ฌ ๐๐Œ๐ˆ (๐‰๐ฎ๐ง) Measures the health of the US service sector; a higher-than-expected reading (forecast 51.3) would support the resilient growth narrative. โ€ข ๐Œ๐จ๐ง๐๐š๐ฒ, ๐‰๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐Ÿ”, ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ”:๐ŸŽ๐ŸŽ โ€“ ๐”๐’: ๐ˆ๐’๐Œ ๐๐จ๐ง-๐Œ๐š๐ง๐ฎ๐Ÿ๐š๐œ๐ญ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ข๐ง๐  ๐๐Œ๐ˆ (๐‰๐ฎ๐ง) A leading indicator of economic health in services.

The publication of the ISM indices and FOMC minutes will drive volatility across our high-growth technology and semiconductor holdings, such as $AMD (Advanced Micro Devices Inc) , $CRWD (Crowdstrike Holdings) , and $MRVL (Marvell Technology Group Ltd) . Any hawkish stance from the Fed could pressure the tech sector, but we are strongly hedged through our largest holding, the Invesco Physical $GOLD ETC (8PSG.DE), alongside fixed-income components (IS04.DE, IUST.DE) tailored to outperform under stagflation. I am also monitoring $BTC and resilient regional exposures (EWT, FLXI.DE) for tactical rebalancing. Best, Gae (@GaetanoBonfiglio)
