I joined @BloombergTV's Surveillance this week to talk through what’s driving markets - earnings, trade policy, and a Fed on pause - and how we’re thinking about positioning portfolios in this environment.
From a positioning standpoint, I continue to advocate for: diversified equity exposure, including international (especially with a potentially weaker dollar), hedging currency risk in fixed income—BINC may be one way to do that, and potentially utilizing inflation-linked bonds,
gold, and market-neutral strategies as tools to navigate this complex backdrop.
Always happy to hear how others are thinking about these themes—let’s keep the conversation going.

What did we learn this afternoon?
The theme of today’s press briefing was uncertainty — particularly around the downstream effects of current fiscal policy.
That uncertainty was reflected in the dot plot: 7 FOMC members expect no cuts this year, while 20 anticipate at least 0.5% of easing by year-end.
