In this episode, we explore how the U.S. presidential election could shake asset markets, marked by rising volatility and a transitory risk-off regime. The discussion covers key quantitative signals—including the MOVE, CVIX, VIX, and VVIX indices—under the Volatility-Adjusted Momentum Signal (VAMS), and outlines a portfolio strategy that avoids long-duration treasuries in favor of shorter-duration high-yield and bank loans. We also delve into broader asset allocations where equities, credit, crypto, and commodities may outperform amid inflationary pressures, and examine both short-term and longer-term positioning models in a persistent REFLATION regime. Listeners gain insights into managing risk, capitalizing on cyclical opportunities, and navigating potential market disruptions.
