U.S. assets have suffered this year after reaching extreme valuations in 2024, as investors trimmed exposure in the wake of aggressive trade policies.
The tariffs are threatening global growth and will likely fuel U.S. inflation, prompting asset allocators to diversify their exposure.
The S&P 500 has plunged as much as 19 per cent from its February peak before recovering nearly half of that drop as dip-buyers stepped in. Bloomberg’s dollar index has fallen 6.3 per cent this year.
The depreciation of the dollar is the “cleanest investment theme to play,” according to Hartnett. He sees DeepSeek as the peak in U.S.
exceptionalism, Trump policies as the trigger for European fiscal excess and his tariff announcements as the beginning in the decline of globalization. “Weaker U.S.
dollar will play out either slowly with lower yields or quickly with higher yields,” Hartnett said. “It’s brutally flagged by the soaring gold price.” The weak dollar theme favors increased global asset allocation to commodities, emerging markets and international stocks, such as Chinese technology as well as European and Japanese banks, he added.
