This Macro Voices episode features an interview with Variant Perception CEO Tian Yang, discussing macroeconomic outlooks and investment strategies in light of President Trump's administration policies. The discussion covers leading economic indicators (LEIs), potential recession scenarios, and Variant Perception's proprietary macro risk indicator, which currently signals a neutral risk environment. Specific investment recommendations include overweighting energy and underweighting consumer discretionary equities, favoring TIPS within fixed income, and considering long volatility positions. The hosts also discuss technical market analysis and options hedging strategies, particularly for repairing losing trades. Listeners are encouraged to download a slide deck accompanying the interview and register for a webinar on options repair strategies.
