Three weeks around the world in five minutes

U.S. economic instability contrasts with renewed European strength and undervalued Chinese opportunities, favoring financials amid global currency diversification.
13 May 2025

The United States is facing growing uncertainty due to rising tariffs and a projected $10 trillion in debt issuance, which is pressuring markets and weakening confidence in the dollar. Investors are increasingly hedging as they doubt the administration’s commitment to stable, growth-oriented policies.

In contrast, Europe is experiencing a revival, led by Germany’s industrial policy shift that is attracting capital, with financials offering compelling value and strong dividends. China is also emerging as an undervalued opportunity, signaling renewed support for the private sector and presenting a strong investment case compared to the U.S. Overvaluation of the dollar and massive Treasury issuance are driving diversification into euros and yen, with a favorable macro backdrop for financial equities and credit.
