Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Outerblue Convictions - Bond Market Volatility, Yield Curves, and Equity Resilience
Q: Thanks, Monica. It sounds like the yields are going up across the board. Where does that leave the call on the yield curve now?
They see a less clean front-end path in the short term but still expect a steeper yield curve to remain a core medium-term conviction, with tactically priced hikes in Europe and careful positioning on US Treasuries and linked instruments.
Outerblue Convictions - Bond Market Volatility, Yield Curves, and Equity Resilience
Q: Can I just start off by asking you, how are you and your teams keeping up with what's going on and how are you thinking about the convictions that you have on markets, asset classes, portfolio allocation?
Monica explains they center outlooks on core geopolitical channels (notably Hormuz Straits) and adjust economic assumptions only if the scenario changes; they aim for a saner framework rather than chasing every micro-move, balancing macro drivers with a disciplined asset allocation approach.
Tracking the trends in a time of rupture - Global Investment views by Outerblue Convictions
Q: Could you drill down into the dollar dynamics in the near term?
The dollar is expected to weaken through 2025 with occasional volatility from policy statements, but a weaker dollar may be constrained by policy discipline and structural factors; volatility is likely to remain entrenched.

Q: What are you expecting from the Fed this year at the moment?
The Fed is likely to pivot away from traditional rate cuts and hikes towards liquidity and balance sheet operations, with the trajectory guided by inflation, productivity, and labor market data, suggesting a more unconventional policy stance.
Fragmented forces shaping the markets - Global Investment Views by Outerblue Convictions
Q: What does the AI 2.0 shift imply for asset allocation and sector investment in the near to mid-term?
The AI 2.0 wave is driving CAPEX reorientation toward real economy investments and tangible assets, with sector rotations becoming more pronounced and investments in technology translating into broader, more diversified growth opportunities.
