Why Global Stocks Are Leaving the U.S. Behind

John Paul / October 24, 2025

Ned Davis Research: Shift Toward Japan and Emerging Markets, Away from U.S. Stocks The U.S. market may be hitting record highs, but one top strategist says it’s time to look elsewhere. Despite a steady run for the S&P 500 — up 14.6% this year — and the Nasdaq Composite gaining 18.8%, Ned Davis Research (NDR) believes investors should start reducing U.S. exposure and reallocating to Japan and emerging markets (EM). In a recent note, Tim Hayes, NDR’s global chief strategist, warned that signs of fading relative strength in U.S. equities suggest a period of underperformance ahead, while Japan and EM are showing strong momentum, attractive valuations, and positive capital flows. U.S. Strength Starting to Fade U.S. stocks make up nearly two-thirds of the MSCI All-Country World Index (ACWI), but despite their global influence, they’ve underperformed both year-to-date and over the past several weeks. In comparison, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index has surged 25% in 2025, and the MSCI Japan Index is up 4% in the last 21 days — both ahead of U.S. benchmarks. This divergence has triggered an NDR sell signal for U.S. stocks as the 20-day relative strength reading hits its weakest level since April. Meanwhile, both EM and Japan have generated buy signals, suggesting stronger price momentum ahead. Attractive Valuations and Currency Tailwinds Hayes points out that emerging markets are far cheaper than the U.S., which remains the most expensive regional market based on NDR’s global valuation metrics. EMs have also benefited from rising currencies and steady inflows into exchange-traded funds, signaling renewed investor confidence. Japan, on the other hand, is being propelled by a weaker yen that supports exporters and boosts earnings. Investor sentiment has strengthened further amid optimism that the new government will deliver on its pro-growth policies. NDR’s internal data shows that 86% of Japan’s market indicators are bullish, the highest in over a year. Portfolio Rebalancing Ahead Given the shifting dynamics, NDR has downgraded U.S. equities to underweight, while upgrading Japan to overweight and increasing exposure to emerging markets. “The duration of these trends can’t be predicted,” Hayes concludes, “but our models clearly favor continued U.S. underperformance — and leadership from Japan and EM.” Investors seeking exposure to these regions can consider:

JPMorgan Sees Gold Doubling by 2028

John Paul / October 23, 2025

Goldman Sachs Doubles Down on Its Bullish Gold Outlook For those exhausted by the nonstop AI market debate, gold’s dramatic fall this week has offered a welcome change of topic. After its steepest one-day drop in more than ten years on Tuesday, the focus has turned to whether the metal can recover. Goldman Sachs believes it can. The bank is sticking with its end-2026 gold target of $4,900 per ounce, expecting further upside driven by central bank and institutional investor demand. “The pace of ETF inflows and client feedback suggests that long-term investors — including sovereign-wealth funds, central banks, pension funds, and asset managers — are preparing to raise their gold exposure as a strategic portfolio diversifier,” Goldman analysts Lina Thomas and Daan Struyven said in a note. That view aligns with JPMorgan’s latest forecast, where strategists led by Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou predict gold prices could more than double over the next three years as investors increasingly use the metal to hedge equity risk. According to JPMorgan, the recent selloff wasn’t sparked by retail investors leaving the market but by trend-following commodity trading advisers taking profits on gold futures — which have already risen 56% this year. The strategists argue that much of today’s gold demand isn’t about fears of a weakening dollar — the traditional “debasement trade” — but rather a shift toward protecting portfolios against rising stock prices. Unlike in past years, investors are now buying both equities and gold while avoiding long-term bonds, a sign that gold is reclaiming its place as a preferred hedge. By JPMorgan’s estimates, nonbank investors now hold about 2.6% of their portfolios in gold, equivalent to roughly $6.6 trillion in holdings. But if investors continue swapping bonds for gold as a hedge, that share could rise sharply. The strategists note that during last year’s market volatility — following tariff-related announcements from President Donald Trump — long-dated bonds failed to protect investors, prompting a rethink of traditional hedging strategies. If just 2% of bond allocations shift to gold, the total allocation could climb to 4.6%, implying a near doubling in gold prices. Factoring in rising equity values and expanding global financial assets, JPMorgan estimates gold prices may need to increase by 110% by 2028 to reach that level. In essence, both Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan see gold as entering a new golden age — not a relic of the past, but a modern hedge for an equity-driven era, with powerful tailwinds from central banks, institutions, and retail investors alike.

Einhorn’s Fund Says AI Math Doesn’t Add Up

John Paul / October 22, 2025

David Einhorn’s Greenlight Fund: “We Can’t Make Sense of the AI Math” Just how massive can AI spending get? Meta Platforms’ latest move — a record-breaking $27 billion private-credit deal to fund a new Louisiana data center — might have pushed even Wall Street’s limits. But it’s not just everyday investors who are struggling to make sense of the numbers. In our Call of the Day, billionaire David Einhorn and his $2 billion hedge fund Greenlight Capital say they’re “refusing to join the AI frenzy,” calling the current enthusiasm mathematically unsound. Einhorn, who correctly called Lehman Brothers’ downfall before the 2008 crash, said a month ago that AI-related spending is “so extreme that it’s really, really hard to understand.” In its latest quarterly letter, Greenlight doubled down: “When it comes to AI, doing the math is essential. The numbers simply have to make sense — and right now, they don’t.” The firm cited McKinsey’s projection of $6.7 trillion in global data center investment by 2030 — a figure it believes will require “extraordinary leverage” to finance. By Greenlight’s calculation, the industry would need to generate $2 trillion in annual revenue by 2030 just to earn a reasonable return. “Something’s got to give,” the letter warns, likening today’s hype to the dot-com bubble, when nobody knew “who would be the last buyer or the last short seller.” It’s been a tough road for Greenlight this year — the fund reported a 3.6% loss in Q3, bringing its 2025 gains to just 0.4%, compared to the S&P 500’s 14.8% rise. Still, Einhorn says there are no regrets: “While others are doing better right now, many are taking risks that we find hard to justify.” Instead of chasing AI, Greenlight is leaning into biotech and utilities. The fund highlighted Coya Therapeutics (COYA) — where it’s the largest shareholder — as a potential standout, citing optimism around the company’s clinical trials for an ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease) treatment. “When AI startups with little more than a PowerPoint are getting multi-billion valuations, we’d rather invest in Coya — a $100 million company with real potential.” Greenlight also disclosed a medium-sized stake in Pacific Gas & Electric (PCG), expecting state-backed recovery after devastating wildfires. Its gold exposure through Green Brick Partners (GRBK) helped cushion the quarter’s losses, though gains were partly offset by a housing hedge. The fund closed out its Teck Resources (TECK) position with a solid profit but criticized the miner’s coal spinoff and merger with Anglo American (AAL). Einhorn’s bottom line: “This is still the most expensive market we’ve ever seen. Our best move is to stay cautious and disciplined.”

Disney Drama: Politics Hit Streaming Subscriptions Hard

John Paul / October 21, 2025

Disney’s Subscriber Cancellations Spike After Jimmy Kimmel Suspension Disney’s latest controversy shows once again that politics and business rarely mix well. Both Disney+ and Hulu experienced a sharp rise in cancellations in September after the company decided to temporarily pull Jimmy Kimmel off the air. The move came following backlash over comments Kimmel made about the death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, which quickly escalated into a political firestorm. According to subscription analytics firm Antenna, the churn rate — the percentage of users canceling a service — doubled across Disney’s streaming platforms. Disney reported 183 million global subscribers across Disney+ and Hulu at the end of June, an 8% increase year-over-year. However, a company spokesperson acknowledged a noticeable uptick in cancellations last month while emphasizing that internal figures were slightly lower than Antenna’s estimates. The spokesperson also noted that the churn spike coincided with a Disney+ price increase, which may have contributed to the higher cancellation rate. The controversy began on September 17, when Disney removed Kimmel’s late-night show from ABC after his remarks drew criticism from the Trump administration and pressure from the FCC. The suspension triggered boycott calls among conservative audiences, who accused Disney of political censorship. Kimmel returned to air less than a week later, and some subscribers reportedly rejoined. Still, Disney’s stock fell more than 3% during the suspension period and has yet to fully recover. Analysts warned that even short-term dips in streaming growth could weigh heavily on Disney’s overall valuation, as streaming remains a key driver of investor confidence. The episode places Disney among other companies hit by politically charged backlash, such as Bud Light, Tesla, and Cracker Barrel. For Disney, the Kimmel episode underscores a broader truth: in a deeply divided political landscape, even temporary decisions can spark long-lasting business consequences.
