On Corrections: corrections caused by exogenous shocks at time of excess bullishnesstypically end once: 1) the“oversold”trough (software, MAGS, private credit, bank loans, bitcoin), 2) the“overbought”sold (gold, semis, metals, EM, Europe, banks–seeFeb'26Global FMS& Chart 6), 3) the“safe havens”lose bid (oil & US dollar); price action hints1 & 2 starting to happen, but oil & dollar needed to give all-clear; don’t expect bigtrading upside from here given yet to see proper price flush lower (e.g., SPX <6600),positioning still excess bullish, no policy panic (bar Korea); for us, key to watch is USdollar, best global liquidity barometer…decisive DXY index break higher >100 =“peak liquidity”theme deepening Dec peak in global central bank cuts (Chart 7), pricing out’26rate cuts (probability of June 17thFed cut was 100% Jan 1st, now 37%), yield curve flattening & potential inflationary oil shock.
