Идеи
European stocks will underperform long-term.
European stocks lack the AI companies that the world wants and lack resources due to Strait of Hormuz disruptions, so they will underperform for a long time to come.
Oil upside risk if strait unresolved.
The market is pricing a Strait of Hormuz resolution at ~98% probability, but the risks of US escalation or prolonged impairment are underappreciated, creating asymmetric upside risk for oil if the strait remains closed.
EM FX crisis if strait stays closed.
If the Strait of Hormuz does not reopen soon, emerging markets will face severe crises with capital withdrawal, as seen in Indonesia, Philippines, India, and Turkey, where central banks are already hiking rates.
