    JAPAN

  • EUROZONE Got inflation? #Nope! Eurozone CPI picked up 1.2% in March M/M but remains grounded at 0.0% Y/Y. We continue to pound the table via our Q2 2016 Macro Theme #BeliefSystem that ECB President Mario Draghi can’t bend economic gravity and a 2.0% inflation target over the intermediate term is pipe dream. #FadingHope.

  • EARNINGS It’s early in earnings season, but we got an early look at tough comps in commodity land (Monsanto and Agrium have both comped down double digits top and bottom line). Alcoa fired 1,000 people globally in the process. One of the key call-outs in our macro deck was that S&P 500 companies face tough comps for Q1 and Q2 (8 of 10 sectors comped higher in Q1 2015), with the flow through sparking the big question: with forward-looking earnings being taken down, what multiple will the market slap on declining forward looking expectations?

  • JAPAN The Japanese yen’s -1% decline to the mid-109’s on the USD cross in the WTD has been good for a major squeeze higher in the Nikkei this week. Today’s massive +3.2% rally puts the index up +6.9% WTD with one more day of trading to go. In a speech at Colombia University yesterday, BoJ Governor Haruhiko Kuroda doubled down on NIRP by highlighting how it “boosts the effects of existing policy measures by directly pushing down the short-end of the yield curve”. Despite this week’s spectacular gains, the Nikkei more-or-less remains in crash mode down -19.3% from its peak last June and we think it’ll take more than jawboning to perpetuate a series of lower-highs in the yen and higher-lows in the Nikkei from here. We expect the pressure of decelerating trends across headline, core and producer price inflation – as well as long-term breakeven rates – to cause the BoJ to add to its easing measures at its April 27-28 meeting. Will additional easing in Japan be met with additional repudiation of the central planning #BeliefSystem, or will Japan simply export this growing lack of faith to U.S. markets via a stronger dollar?

    DARIUS DALE

    TACTICAL ASSET CLASS ROTATION MODEL

  • HEDGEYE 10

    The primary function of TACRM is to provide investors with an unparalleled degree of advanced market color across the liquid global macro investment universe (i.e. asset classes, regions,

    countries, style factors and equity sectors).

    TACRM is especially useful in alerting investors to critical breakouts and breakdowns at the individual factor exposure levels and collating those signals in a manner that significantly

    enhances one’s ability to identify existing or developing regime changes at the primary asset class level.

    TACRM employs a robust proprietary quantitative methodology to transform a myriad of individual momentum signals at the factor exposure level into amalgamated risk management

    signals at the primary asset class level. This is especially helpful in quantifying the risk to increasing or reducing one’s allocation to a particular asset class, at the margin(s).

    WHY TACRM?

  • HEDGEYE 11

    Multi-Factor Price, Volume and Volatility: TACRM uses volume-weighted average price (VWAP) data rather than single factor price data to infer the market’s conviction in a directional trend (or lack thereof).

    Multi-Duration Short-term (1-3 months), Intermediate-term (3-6 months) and Long-term (6-12 months): TACRM applies a volatility overlay to account for the existence of developing and/or trending fundamental narratives. Specifically, if cross-asset volatility* is rising on a trending basis, TACRM records observations in the smaller of the two sample sizes (across each duration) and, conversely, if cross-asset volatility* is falling on a trending basis, TACRM records observations in the larger of the two sample sizes (across each duration).

    Intuitive Z-Scores: For every liquid factor exposure in the world (roughly 200 in aggregate), TACRM computes a standalone Z-Score for each of the three aforementioned observation periods. The baseline assumption is that deviations from the mean in each sample of VWAP data represents the existence of positive or negative momentum. Specifically, a positive value on a specified date indicates that the associated price is n-standard deviations greater than the mean of the sample of observations in its respective trailing n-month period.

    Easy To Interpret Standardization: For each date in the model, TACRM computes a weighted average of the three aforementioned Z-Scores for each factor exposure. This composite Z-Score is the VAMDMI metric that TACRM analyzes in various manners to produce actionable risk management signals. Moreover, because TACRM’s VAMDMI metric uses a Z-Score methodology to transform VWAP data, it’s signals are agnostic to an individual factor exposure’s historical beta and volatility – thus effectively normalizing the degree to which investors in different asset classes are observing momentum.

    TACRM = MULTI-FACTOR, MULTI-DURATION OUR VOLATILITY-ADJUSTED MULTI-DURATION MOMENTUM INDICATOR (VAMDMI) METRIC IS THE KEY DIFFERENTIATOR BETWEEN TACRM AND OTHER QUANTITATIVE RISK MANAGEMENT TOOLS. SPECIFICALLY, THIS CALCULATION OF MOMENTUM COMBINES MULTIPLE FACTORS ACROSS MULTIPLE DURATIONS AND DISPLAYS THE OUTPUT IN A MANNER THAT IS BOTH INTUITIVE AND EASY TO INTERPRET.

    GLOBAL MACRO

    This chart highlights the top-10 and bottom-10 Adjusted VAMDMI readings

    across the universe of liquid global macro factor exposures. This snapshot

    is helpful to investors in two ways:

    First, it consistently identifies which markets are breaking out or breaking down by identifying where last price is within the context of a multi-duration

    view of volume-weighted average price data, as well as the directional deviation within that prism. For

    example, an Adjusted VAMDMI reading of ≥ +1x would represent a factor exposure that is decidedly bullish

    across multiple durations and getting more bullish on the margin. The

    opposite is true for Adjusted VAMDMI readings ≤ (1x).

    Secondly, the composition of the top

    and bottom Adjusted VAMDMI readings helps investors confirm

    existing trends at the primary asset class level OR helps to prospectively

    signal a bullish-to-bearish or bearish-to-bullish rotation in any of the

    six primary asset classes tracked by TACRM.

    readings across the universe of broadly investable domestic fixed income, credit and equity income

    exposures. This snapshot is helpful to investors in two ways:

    First, it consistently identifies which

    markets are breaking out or breaking down by identifying where last price is within the context of a

    multi-duration view of volume-weighted average price data, as well

    as the directional deviation within that prism. For example, an Adjusted

    VAMDMI reading of ≥ +1x would represent a factor exposure that is decidedly bullish across multiple

    durations and getting more bullish on the margin. The opposite is true for Adjusted VAMDMI readings ≤ (1x).

    Secondly, the composition of the top

    and bottom Adjusted VAMDMI readings helps investors confirm or

    dispel existing fundamental narratives OR prospectively signal

    new ones.
