Rising oil prices threaten Asian equity markets.
Oil is becoming the marginal mover of Treasury price action, and if oil prices break out to new highs, it will put incremental downward pressure on the Asian equity space outside of the semiconductor trade.

Asia equities benefit from AI capex.
Asia is a big beneficiary of the AI capex cycle through semiconductors, tech and data centers, so she keeps balanced regional exposure despite near-term volatility and a speed bump in Asian markets.

South Asia gains from supply-chain shift.
Sustained geopolitical pressure is reshuffling global supply chains, and that reshuffle allows South Asia to attract the most capital. The region is gaining from this shift even though it carries costs.

Buy non-US tech, especially Asia.
The June/July clearing of momentum positions, tech positions, and excess leverage should pave the way for more tech exposure outside the U.S., particularly leaning back into the Asian equity universe.

High concentration makes major equity indices risky.
Major equity indices like the S&P 500 and Asian benchmarks have become overly concentrated in a small handful of mega-cap stocks, making broad index exposure riskier and less attractive than active stock picking.

International markets ex-China in new cycle.
International markets ex-China (Europe, Asia, emerging markets ex-China) have entered a new secular trend, driven by AI exports in Japan, defense spending in Europe, and positive earnings revisions.

Overweight Asia as cheaper tech play.

Asia equities offer attractive relative value.
Asia broadly, including China, is attractively priced relative to the U.S. market, trading at a significant discount; a two-to-three-year view allows investors to ride out the volatility and capture the value.

Rotate to European and Asian equities.

Asian equities benefit from lower yields, oil.

Bullish on US and Asian equities.
US and Asian equities are attractive because earnings season has been exceptionally strong with broad-based beats, positioning is not frothy (systematic and discretionary far from sell signals), and the AI theme provides a tailwind. Europe lacks AI exposure and needs resolution of the Middle East conflict to become investable, so skip Europe and focus on US and Asia.

Asia benefits from capital reallocation.
Capital is being reallocated from the US to Asia because Asia will drive 50-60% of global growth over the next decade, and in a world of structurally higher interest rates, investors need growth. This shift from hyper-exceptional US exposure to exceptional will send 5-7% of capital flows to Asia, making the region a net beneficiary.

Bearish on Asian consumers and airlines.
Low-income countries in Asia will suffer from the oil shock, and sectors that consume energy (like airlines) will see margin pressure.

Avoid South Asia, prefer Northern Asia.
South Asian countries are most vulnerable to the oil crisis and resulting inflation, so broad exposure to the region should be avoided. Instead, prefer Northern Asian markets like China, Taiwan, or Korea which are more resilient.

Asia equities and real assets are opportunities.

Asia and Europe exposed to energy shock.
Asia (specifically South Korea and Japan) and Europe are very exposed to the energy shock due to high energy import dependency, which will create economic weakness and potential investment opportunities in those regions after corrections, such as in Asia tech.

Stagflation risks pressure Asia and long yields.
Longer-term stagflation risks from supply chain problems due to the war are underappreciated, with upward pressure on long-end yields sustaining and leading to steeper yield curves, which will filter through to other assets, and Asia is where supply chain risks are most acute despite good fundamentals.
