Summary
Pablo Gil analyzes the disconnect between the US government's optimistic narrative on the Iran conflict and the warnings from IMF, World Bank, and ECB about structural economic damage. He argues that markets are complacent, buying the US narrative, and that a shift in global order is underway. He advises rebalancing away from US equities, favors gold as central banks buy it, and sees Japanese equities as a relative alternative.

Trade Ideas
Central banks shift to gold.
Central banks are rapidly shifting reserves from US Treasuries to gold as a safe haven due to loss of confidence in the US dollar and geopolitical uncertainty, supporting further gold price appreciation.
Avoid US equities; seek alternatives.
Despite strong inflows and retail buying, the US stock market shows technical deterioration relative to global equities, with lower highs and lower lows, indicating it is losing its leadership; investors should reduce overweight positions and look elsewhere.
