Oil is trading in the $60s. Hansen notes that "depletion rates in the order of 6 to 8 million barrels on an annual basis" require massive investment, which current prices do not support. The market is currently complacent due to ample supply, but the lack of CapEx now guarantees a future supply crunch. Prices must rise to the $80-$90 range to make production viable for energy companies facing inflation. Long. The structural deficit is being ignored for short-term political reasons (US midterms). Political intervention to keep prices low during election cycles; demand destruction from a recession.

Hansen observes an "aggressive rotation" where investors are moving "away from the US stock market" because the "Mag 7 are basically flat on the year." The US market priced in AI perfection too early. Capital is now flowing into undervalued jurisdictions that were previously ignored, specifically Emerging Markets and recovering sectors in Europe. Long non-US equities to capture the rotation flow. A global recession would likely hurt EM/Europe more than the US due to the dollar smile theory.

Gold has stabilized around $5,000. Hansen states, "6,000 is within reach in the next 12 months" and cites ongoing sovereign debt worries and interest rate cuts as drivers. While the asset is technically overextended in the very short term (22% above 200-day MA), the macro drivers (fiscal dominance, central bank buying) remain intact. The "dip" is a consolidation phase before the next leg up to $6,000. Long-term hold/accumulate on dips. A deeper short-term correction if prices drop another $1,000 to reconnect with moving averages.
