Gold is up nearly 1% on trade uncertainty and the threat of a US military strike on Iran. Gold is benefiting from a dual tailwind: 1) Haven demand due to Middle East war risk, and 2) A weakening US Dollar caused by the Supreme Court limiting Trump's economic leverage. Momentum is strong (up 6% in 4 sessions). LONG Gold as a hedge against geopolitical escalation and dollar debasement. A sudden diplomatic breakthrough in Geneva talks or a de-escalation in rhetoric.

Gold, like Bitcoin, has been caught in the same vicious rotational play after its earlier frenzy. By calculation, gold is now trading as if the US CPI index were already at 2030 levels, leaving a lot of air underneath. In the short term gold will be tested and is likely to fall to 2,800 or even 2,600 levels.

U.S. equity markets, particularly the S&P 500, are overripe for a correction because they have run up too much and froth is considerable relative to fair value.

The path of least resistance for US Treasury yields is higher because the Fed is underpricing the risk of having to raise rates due to the energy shock, and the market is still not pricing in a sufficiently hawkish Fed. Therefore, long-duration bonds should decline.

US stocks will decouple from the brutal meltdown in South Korea. The Korean selloff is mainly about two names (Samsung and SK Hynix) and the immense leverage in single-stock ETFs, making it an idiosyncratic problem that should not drag US equities lower for long.

A rotational trade out of overextended chip stocks into banks will continue, supported by the Federal Reserve's stress test results, dividend increases, and banks' year-to-date underperformance.

The Fed cannot cut rates because the US economy is growing resiliently above trend and inflation is staying higher for longer. Markets are underpriced for this inflation overshoot and are oblivious to the risk that Chair Warsh will reduce forward guidance and the dot plot, creating a less dovish, Greenspan-style Fed. The ten-year yield below 4.50% does not reflect this hawkish risk.

At current 30-year yield levels near 2007 highs, long-dated US Treasuries represent bargain levels because yields are unlikely to persist over the life of the bond, so investors should scale into duration.

The Nasdaq 100's fair value is 29,910, implying a 10% upside from current levels. If the cease-fire in Iran holds, the Nasdaq could reach 30,000 by year-end, supported by long-term cash flow discounting and attractive valuations after the earlier tech selloff.

The US trade deficit has ballooned to 1960s levels despite tariffs, while the Eurozone current account surplus widened significantly in December. The Supreme Court ruling signals that Trump's ability to unilaterally weaponize the dollar/trade policy is limited. Combined with fundamental flow data (money flowing into EU via surplus), the structural backdrop favors the Euro over the Dollar. LONG Euro (FXE) / SHORT US Dollar (UUP). ECB dovishness or a resurgence of EU-specific political instability.
