Remember that flow into global equities is primarily driven by investors seeking to capture currency return as the dollar weakens. Global investors have made a ton of money in recent years capturing the translation gains of a strong dollar. I ran a global fund in the 80’s and 90’s and currency was a huge factor in cash flows in to the fund. Most American investors are quite clueless about the impact of currency on earnings and most companies do not disclose much about their hedging strategies.

Like the earnings chart a lot. Exhibit 3. Why are my eyes attracted to the VERTICAL GREY lines showing further significant earnings deterioration DURING recession whereas ‘23 we’ve yet to see any VERTICAL GREY line😳😂…even a mild one into ‘24 takes S&P EPS < $180 not what analysts pencil in w/ co. approval @ $230🤷🏻
