Can the tech sector sustain its dominance in a volatile market? Join us as we sit down with Julian Brigden, co-founder of MI2 Partners, to uncover the secrets behind his innovative firm that mimics the strategic morning meetings of top macro hedge funds. Julian delves into the unexpected market shifts between small and large caps, and the intricate dance of CPI on macro trading strategies. He also sheds light on the pivotal role tech plays in fueling market rallies, questioning whether this momentum is truly sustainable amidst a backdrop of uneven productivity gains.

In this episode, Julian unpacks the potential for a dramatic rotation from growth to value stocks, drawing comparisons to the dot-com bubble burst of the early 2000s. We explore the dynamics influencing gold and silver prices amid market turbulence and the critical factors that could transform a harsh market environment into a more favorable one. Julian also highlights the looming threat of rebounding inflation metrics in Q4, the Fed's possible delayed responses, and the historical parallels that could indicate severe equity market declines. All this, while considering the looming influence of upcoming elections on inflation trends.

Dive deep into the global macro hedge fund thesis with an exploration of Soros’ concept of reflexivity and its profound impact on financial markets. Julian provides a detailed analysis of how US monetary policy divergence and global negative interest rates have fueled a hyper-financialized economy, leading to significant capital inflows into US assets. We wrap up by examining the structural shifts in the bond market, the impact of changing demographics on bond demand, and how Macro Intelligence Partners equips institutional clients with essential macroeconomic insights and actionable trade recommendations amidst market chaos.
