Investment Rating - The report recommends an overweight position in US equities, suggesting they remain attractive compared to the rest of the world [9]. Core Insights - There is a narrative questioning whether foreign investors are fleeing US assets, driven by uncertainties in trade and tariff policies. However, data indicates that while foreign investors have slowed their pace of buying US stocks, they have not significantly reallocated away from them [2][4]. - US risky and risk-free assets are viewed as attractive, with a recommendation for an equal-weight position in global equities while overweighting US equities due to better earnings revision breadth in the US compared to other regions [9]. - The report highlights persistent weakness in the US dollar over the next 12 months, driven by a convergence of US rates and growth to peers, alongside elevated policy uncertainty [10]. Summary by Sections - **Investment Flows**: International investors have been net buyers of US equities post-Liberation Day, but the buying pace has slowed compared to 2024, although it remains higher than in 2021-2023. US investors, in contrast, have been net sellers, reallocating away from US equities [3][4]. - **Bond Funds**: Net inflows to US bond funds have been positive but slower than the previous year. Foreign investors have remained net buyers of US bonds, indicating no significant outflows from US bonds [5][8]. - **Regional Allocation**: The weight of US equities in global equity funds has decreased, reflecting a market correction rather than net outflows. This change aligns with the overall market cap of US equities shrinking as a share of the global equity benchmark index [4].

Investment Rating - The report maintains a structurally bullish view on gold, projecting a base case price of $3,700 per ounce by year-end and $4,000 by mid-2026 [17]. Core Insights - The gold-silver price ratio has broken out of its historical range of 45-80 since 2022, with expectations that silver will not catch up to gold due to increased central bank demand for gold [1][16]. - Central banks have significantly increased gold purchases, leading to a structural decoupling of gold and silver prices, with gold being favored over silver due to its scarcity and suitability for reserve management [2][14]. - Despite a boom in China's solar industry supporting silver demand, it has not been sufficient to close the performance gap with gold, especially as solar production slows and recession risks rise [16]. Summary by Sections Gold-Silver Price Ratio - The gold-silver price ratio has persistently traded above the historical range since 2022, driven by structural changes in demand [1][2]. - Central banks' gold purchases have increased fivefold since the freezing of Russian reserves, contributing to the decoupling of gold and silver prices [9][12]. Demand Dynamics - Silver's investment flows are influenced by macroeconomic uncertainty and real rates, but its industrial exposure can lead to underperformance during economic downturns [5][6]. - The report indicates that while silver may benefit from renewed investor interest, it is unlikely to match gold's trajectory due to the lack of central bank support [16][20]. Structural Factors - Gold's physical properties make it more suitable for reserve management compared to silver, which is more abundant and less valuable [14][15]. - Silver lacks the institutional recognition and economic profile that supports gold, making it less suitable as a reserve asset [13][14]. Future Outlook - The report anticipates that gold will continue to outperform silver, with strong central bank demand expected to persist into 2025 [16][19]. - In the event of a recession, gold prices could rise significantly, potentially reaching $3,880 by year-end, while silver may also see some upward movement due to correlated flows [18][19].
