USD, EM And Recoupling

Published on: August 13th, 2018

As the Dollar’s idiosyncratic rallies continue against one currency after another, the danger is growing that we get a real sustained and broad-based Dollar move. That will bring trouble.

    If I'm viewing things correctly the Chicago financial conditions is easing & Kansas City is tightening is this also because of a higher $ weighting with Kansas city index or is it unique to your goldman sachs financial index ? cheers

      Hi Lance, While all these indexes contain similar components ($, Fed Funds, bond yields, stocks, credit) they all use different weightings. I'm not especially familiar with the Kansas Fed model but it did start to tighten at the same time as the GS Index. So I assume it has a higher weighting than Chicago. Feel free to play around with these indexes vs various markets you are watching. There are no hard and fast rules. However, I generally use Chicago for domestic financial conditions and hence broad US equity indexes like the NYSE Composite and the GS index for overseas "$" financial conditions hence the link to EM stocks. Regards

    Great article, for which many thanks. One question though - is this a bit late ? Emerging markets have already gone down a lot .... etc.

    Since macro is starting to pick up in markets and these alerts in Macro Insider are becoming more time sensitive. Can Real Vision set up an email alert to clients so we know when Raoul and/or Julian release another macro piece? Thanks
