The S&amp;P 500 experienced a maximum drawdown of -20% since Trump\u2019s Inauguration Day, making it the worst 100-day start to a presidential term since 1973. On the flip side, markets have mounted an impressive rebound from the lows. The Nasdaq-100 even closed April in positive territory.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It seems the bond market effectively &#8220;broke&#8221; President Trump on 9 April, triggering a shift toward de-escalation in the trade dispute. The market has clearly set hard limits on the administration\u2019s economic flexibility and room to negotiate. This perspective has since shaped our broader market outlook and expectation of more positive trade-related news.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A strong market recovery, however, could also reignite Trump\u2019s confidence and potentially lead to another round of volatility \u2013 where deals appear to unravel, only to be salvaged at the last minute. Overall, sentiment remains fragile and highly sensitive to the headlines, which continue to send conflicting signals around the US-China trade talks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>US equity markets are near critical technical levels, with rare signals emerging that have historically indicated further gains. The sustainability of this rebound will hinge on the development of key macro data, notably related to the US labor market and inflation, and the reaction function of the US Federal Reserve (Fed) to these indicators.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To gain greater confidence that the bottom is already in place, we would need to see the following: credible announcements that pave the way for a US-China tariff deal, a clear rebound in earnings estimates and a rising likelihood of more expansionary monetary policy in the second half of 2025. The next one to two months will be critical as the tariff-triggered supply shock will hit the US consumer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-monthly-review\">Monthly Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-policy-shocks-and-echoes-of-2020\">Policy shocks and echoes of 2020<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It has been an exceptionally volatile month, with sharp swings in both directions. As Steno Research also asserts, our view is that the current environment is a response to a man-made, external supply shock \u2013 similar to the Covid-19 pandemic, though smaller in scale. The stop-and-go dynamics are familiar: a policy shock disrupts the cycle, followed by a gradual unwinding. It is essentially a lockdown and then a reopening.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If we are right in assuming the shock will now unwind in a measured and deliberate way, we could see patterns in inflation, interest rates and risk assets that recall the 2020 experience. More specifically, this could involve a sharp decline in the US ISM manufacturing index, also known as the purchasing managers&#8217; index (PMI), through April and May, followed by a strong rebound into summer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Similarly, while US job openings remained stable for most of 2024, dipping around the election, they are now falling sharply. In this environment, significant net hiring seems improbable, and US non-farm payrolls (NFPs) are unlikely to exceed 100k per month. CNBC reports that 60% of CEOs expect a US recession in the next six months due to the tariffs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>As a result, the Fed could face sluggish growth, weak net hiring and an administration that steadily eases tariffs. While an inflation spike into 2026 is possible as the business cycle reaccelerates, we believe a sharp year-over-year drop in inflation through April, May and June is more probable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This would once again mirror 2020, when inflation collapsed in the early months of the pandemic. Such a backdrop could ultimately give the Fed scope to ease policy more aggressively than the markets are currently pricing. But at the moment, the Fed is in a holding pattern and unlikely to take action before June or July, unless a market disruption occurs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-market-development\">Market Development<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-world\">World<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Over the next couple of months, we expect a steady flow of positive trade-negotiation headlines, culminating in a series of trade deals (or more accurately, given the US administration\u2019s first 100 days, lightweight letters of intent). While these agreements may not significantly impact Main Street \u2013 the supposed focus of the Trump administration \u2013 they should help bolster market sentiment and partially restore CEO confidence.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>For now, we find it hard to envision the market setting new lows. Several factors support this view, such as the \u201cTrump put\u201d that revealed itself on 9 April and the stabilization of credit spreads. In addition, systematic equity selling appears largely exhausted, according to Deutsche Bank, with peak panic and uncertainty probably behind us. Taken together, these factors point to asymmetrical upside potential on any positive-leaning news flow.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Earnings season, though still early, has kicked off more strongly than expected, and the blackout period for corporate buybacks is ending. We&#8217;ve already seen major buyback announcements, such as from Google. In addition, market breadth has sharply improved in recent days, which is historically a bullish signal. In our view, the pain trade would be a narrow rally led by artificial intelligence\/Magnificent 7 stocks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When it comes to tariff negotiations, the projection of optimism from the US is notable. China is maintaining a more cautious and consistent wait-and-see stance, focusing on long-term strategy rather than short-term concessions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Looking beyond trade, geopolitical risks remain at their highest levels in decades. The latest flashpoint concerns the escalating tensions between India and Pakistan over Kashmir, with Pakistan warning of an imminent military incursion by India.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-europe\">Europe<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Weakening demand, rising unemployment and easing prices are creating a classic scenario for the loosening of monetary policy. Concerns about prolonged trade issues continue to drive money out of US equities, with all other regions seeing equity inflows during the week ending 23 April, according to Bank of America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-switzerland\">Switzerland<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The Swiss franc has surged to a decade high against the US dollar, threatening Switzerland\u2019s export economy and raising deflation risks. To counter this, the Swiss National Bank (SNB) may cut interest rates to zero or below, avoiding heavy market interventions to prevent being labeled a currency manipulator by the US. Diplomatic efforts are underway after recent US tariffs on Swiss goods, with markets expecting another rate cut by June with 80% probability.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-bond-market-has-spoken-trump-has-listened-but-what-would-it-take-for-the-fed-to-follow\">The bond market has spoken, Trump has listened \u2014 but what would it take for the Fed to follow?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The bond market has emerged as a decisive force in shaping economic policy and market direction. We believe that bond market instability forced President Trump to blink on 9 April, triggering a shift toward de-escalation in the trade war \u2013 and revealing the administration\u2019s limited room for maneuver. Today, the bond market remains a crucial barometer and is both a warning signal and a constraint on broader policy ambitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the topic is highly technical in nature, it\u2019s important to explain how potential Fed intervention, triggered by bond market stress, could mark a positive inflection point for risk assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When Fed Governor Susan Collins stated on 11 April that the Fed was &#8220;absolutely ready to intervene to stabilize markets&#8221;, this raised a critical question: Why intervene during a sell-off driven by fiscal deficits and the erosion of trust in the US government? The deeper reason was likely mounting stress in the financial system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two major indicators pointed to this market dysfunction:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>First, the market-implied spread between the secured overnight financing rate (SOFR) and the federal funds rate (FFR) for June widened from 0 to 6 basis points within a few days. The SOFR reflects the cost of borrowing cash overnight using Treasuries as collateral, while the FFR is the interest rate at which the largest banks lend reserves to each other overnight. As these two rates tend to be closely aligned, a sudden divergence suggests funding market stress.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The second indicator concerns the widening of the repo rates, which are critical for short-term borrowing in the financial system. Higher repo rates indicate that liquidity is drying up and financial institutions are becoming more cautious about lending cash against bond collateral &#8211; a negative signal for overall market stability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This stress particularly affected a popular hedge fund strategy known as the swap spread trade. In this trade, investors go long (i.e. buy) 30-year US government bonds while simultaneously paying the fixed interest side in a 30-year interest rate swap. The goal is to profit from the difference between the bond yield and the swap rate, known as the swap spread. But during the recent sell-off, government bond yields rose much faster than the swap rates, causing the swap spread to widen aggressively within just a few sessions. This sharp move increased the cost and risk of holding leveraged positions, leading to a forced unwinding of such trades and exacerbating the bond market\u2019s sell-off.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p>Underlying structural fragilities also made the situation worse. Government deficits and bond supply are on the rise, but the banks&#8217; ability to absorb new government bonds has been weakened by post-2008 financial regulations restricting the percentage of bonds that banks can hold relative to their capital. As a result, hedge funds have increasingly become the marginal buyers of long-dated Treasuries. Hedge funds, however, are highly sensitive to market volatility. When volatility rises, they demand higher risk premiums to continue buying bonds. This dynamic creates a vicious cycle where lower demand leads to lower bond prices and even higher yields, further stressing financial markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Going forward, the Fed may well intervene should we see renewed dysfunction, such as a spike of 50 or more basis points in 30-year Treasury yields within a short timeframe. There are two primary ways the Fed could act:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Standing Repo Facility (SRF): This tool provides temporary liquidity by allowing market participants to borrow cash against high-quality collateral like US Treasuries. It would address short-term funding pressures, similar to the Fed\u2019s backstopping of markets during the Silicon Valley Bank crisis in 2023.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Large-scale asset purchases (LSAPs): They could be required if the sell-off were driven by broader macroeconomic fears or a revolt by the so-called bond vigilantes worried about inflation and fiscal irresponsibility. Large-scale asset purchases (LSAPs) involve the Fed directly buying government bonds to stabilize prices and bring yields down. It is essentially quantitative easing (QE) under a different name.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The critical distinction between these interventions is that repo operations are a short-term technical fix for liquidity problems, while LSAPs represent a long-term commitment to altering the structure of bond yields. If the stress were purely technical \u2013 caused by the unwinding of leveraged trades like swap spread strategies \u2013 repo interventions would probably suffice. However, if the sell-off stemmed from deeper macroeconomic concerns, only a QE-style program would be capable of restoring confidence and stabilizing long-term interest rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Historically, such Fed interventions have marked liquidity turning points that tend to be supportive of equities, most recently in March 2020 and March 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-positionierung\">Positionierung<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We selectively rebalanced equities in the panic phase of the sell-off following the US administration\u2019s tariff announcements in early April. This brought our exposure back to neutral, with a bias to add selectively where individual stocks screen attractively. As Bank of America\u2019s Michael Hartnett summed it up: \u201cIf there\u2019s no recession, equity lows are in. But we can\u2019t jump back into the bull camp unless Treasury yields drop below 4% and earnings growth stays above 5%.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p>We are now entering a critical period as tariffs move from theoretical risk to real-world economic disruption. Container bookings from China to the US have collapsed by over 60% (Flexport), port activity is slowing and major retailers have started to warn of imminent shortages. These supply chain shocks are in effect mirroring Covid-era disruptions. If unresolved by summer, the initial first-order effects of shortages could lead to second-order consequences of rising costs, lost sales and layoffs that risk pushing the global economy closer to recession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A technical recession in the US &#8211; rather than a recession as defined by the National Bureau of Economic Research &#8211; appears likely. Equities have already priced in a moderate growth slowdown, as reflected in recent downward earnings revisions, though have yet to fully account for a potential labor-cycle downturn. But there is little value in projecting beyond early summer, when the outcome of trade negotiations and tariff developments should be clearer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This leaves the markets at a crossroads. The S&amp;P 500 is testing key resistance in the 5,500\u20135,600 range. A decisive breakout would reinforce recovery prospects, potentially supported by strong Magnificent 7 earnings, improving technical breadth and more stable rates \u2013 as well as cleaner positioning, declining policy uncertainty and relaxed volatility (the VIX volatility index now tracks in the mid-20s).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if this rally merely proves to be a counter-trend bounce, weak liquidity and fragile sentiment could trigger a retest of recent lows. Assuming a true recession is avoided, we believe a 4,900\u20135,100 range on the S&amp;P 500 offers attractive tactical entry points for medium-term positioning of 12 months and longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, gold\u2019s 30% year-to-date rally to USD 3,500 per ounce underscores the deepening distrust in US fiscal and monetary policy. At the same time, the shift into higher-beta assets like Bitcoin signals an evolving risk appetite for such fiat debasement trades. Bitcoin, which is still under-owned by institutions, offers asymmetric upside, especially as a high conviction play on the anticipated dovish Fed policy in the second half of 2025. Bottom line: Until the outcome of trade negotiations is clear, we remain cautious with a slight optimistic bias. In our view, a durable improvement would require a policy reversal \u2013 a move that seems increasingly tied to President Trump&#8217;s approval ratings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-three-consecutive-gains-of-1-5-in-the-s-amp-p-500-are-a-rare-occurrence-that-historically-tends-to-precede-sustained-bull-markets\">Three consecutive gains of +1.5% in the S&amp;P 500 are a rare occurrence that historically tends to precede sustained bull markets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"945\" height=\"425\" src=\"https:\/\/finad.com\/app\/uploads\/2025\/04\/image-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1708\" srcset=\"https:\/\/finad.com\/app\/uploads\/2025\/04\/image-2.png 945w, https:\/\/finad.com\/app\/uploads\/2025\/04\/image-2-300x135.png 300w, https:\/\/finad.com\/app\/uploads\/2025\/04\/image-2-768x345.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 945px) 100vw, 945px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: Bloomberg<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At least from a technical perspective, we are starting to see signals typically associated with a major market bottom. Historically, clusters of three consecutive +1.5% daily gains in the S&amp;P 500 have often marked critical inflection points, usually preceding sustained bull runs. In technical terms, such strong consecutive gains reflect a surge in buying pressure and a sentiment shift from fear to optimism &#8211; key ingredients for durable market recoveries. Past examples include rallies after the 2000 dotcom bust, 2008 financial crisis and 2020 Covid recovery. The latest signals from 25 April indicate a potential pivot toward a new bullish cycle, provided we maintain supportive macro conditions such as stable earnings, moderating rates and a contained risk of recession. These fundamental factors are heavily contingent on the outcome of ongoing tariff negotiations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sources: Bloomberg, Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, The Macro Compass, The Market Ear, Steno Research, 42Macro, JPM, Hightower Naples, Strategas, FT, LBBW, BCA Research<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Executive Summary Monthly Review Policy shocks and echoes of 2020 Market Development World Europe Weakening demand, rising unemployment and easing prices are creating a classic scenario for the loosening of monetary policy.
