2οΈβ£Charts of the Week
This week markets have been still shaped by the geopolitical tension around the Strait of Hormuz, which is taking more time than expectedd for all parties involbved.
Below, you can see the first chart which shows that this kind of event is not new for equities: typically, you see an initial dip right when the shock hits, but then returns tend to recover quite steadily over the following months.
All operators are concerned, however, this pattern is fairly consistent across events, which suggests that markets quickly absorb the uncertainty and move back to pricing fundamentals rather than staying anchored to the geopolitical noise ππ
On the other hand, this ties quite well with what we see in the second chart, where the focus shifts from short-term shocks to the broader macro regime. The current setup looks like a reflation environment, with inflation still present and growth holding up, and thatβs where the idea of a barbell comes in.
On one side, defensive value sectors benefit from inflation and stability, while on the other, cyclical value captures the upside from ongoing economic activity. Itβs not a market dominated by one single style, but rather one where leadership is split depending on how growth and inflation evolve. π§βοΈ
As usual, this is not about giving you a magic recipe, but rather sharing the key pieces so you can build your own forward-looking view as new events unfold. Despite the ongoing uncertainty, what weβre seeing is not new, as markets have gone through similar phases before and have eventually adjusted as the bigger picture became clearer. π§ π
