In this episode, Andrew Tyler, Head of US Market Intelligence, and John Schlegel, Head of Global Positioning Intelligence, discuss how views on US markets have shifted for the near term, post the strong performance in prior months and a view that US macro data is “goldilocks.”  They cover how much of the good news might be priced in and diverging views around the Fed.  From a positioning angle, they discuss the large amount of short covering by Hedge Funds and what typically follows, alongside what the current “pain trade” might be.
