In this episode, the team delves into the risk and reward dynamics of U.S. equities compared to the rest of the world, following the recent comparative underperformance from the U.S. They discuss recent investor flows and positioning, and whether the recent underperformance in U.S. equities presents a “buy the dip” opportunity. They also touch on the macroeconomic environment, corporate earnings and geopolitical factors, assessing how these elements impact U.S. exceptionalism relative to Europe and the rest of the world. John Schlegel, head of Global Positioning Intelligence, and Ellen Wang, from the U.S. Market Intelligence team, are joined by Eloise Goulder, head of the wider Global Data Assets & Alpha Group.
