1.  Inflation Outlook: A rapidly evolving inflation outlook for developed economies, particularly in the USA.  Perhaps the market is not on top of this yet.

2.  US Dollar Index: We continue to focus on the contrarian setup in the US Dollar Index (DXY), the case looks to be growing more compelling, yet it remains an unconventional idea.

3.  Copper:  Our charts helped picked the rebound in copper in 2016, but now they are telling us something entirely different (valuation, intermarkets, positioning, China macro, and more).

4.  China On/Offshore: A number of indicators show an evolving valuation picture, with China A shares trading at a discount to offshore, but it’s not a repeat of 2014.

5.  Eurozone Valuations: In part 1 of a series that will be continued next week on my premium service, we explore the valuation picture for European equities, with a particular focus on relative value. There has been some iteresting developments in Europe.

Thanks for reading and have a great weekend!
