Markets focused on rates. History focused on midterms.

Since 1934:
• S&P higher in 21 of 23 midterm election years from -1 month to +2 months around Election Day
• Median return: +7%
•

Seasonality + fundamentals > fear?

Global money market fund assets just hit a record ~$8T.
• $5T in 2023
• $8T in 2026
• +$3T increase
• +60% in ~3 years
Historically, the biggest surges in cash holdings occur alongside aggressive monetary easing.
When rates fall, cash becomes fuel. 🚀

Labor’s share looks like a value trap while corporate profits keep ripping in a decade‑long breakout. And orange wage line? It’s been trailing the blue cumulative‑inflation line since the COVID recession ended. HH don’t care that 12‑mo inflation is 3.4%; they care that prices are up ~30% since 2020.

The chart shows how presidential EO velocity sets the policy tone…

EO issuance by “days into term,” which highlights pace, not just totals. Truman’s curve shoots upward faster and higher!

EO cadence = policy direction.
Congress = policy drag coefficient.

The chart shows how presidential EO velocity sets the policy tone long before Congress can counter. Biden’s early‑term surge and current administration ramp both underscore the same point, the modern presidency governs through executive action, not legislative consensus (EO issuance by “days into term,” which highlights pace, not just totals. Truman’s curve shoots upward faster and higher!) EO cadence = policy direction. Congress = policy drag coefficient. https://x.com/mohossain/status/2105532379066474611?s=46 ht:MCO

US #manufacturing is the only major region still printing durable >50 PMI while Europe crawls back and China stays sub‑50. AI/datacenter capex = upstream chemical pull‑through; China’s property bust = structural oversupply.

US advantage across the chemical value chain.

Balance sheets are breaking formation. AI capex now debt‑only, gov’t net‑debt ~100% GDP, credit growth slipping toward the danger zone.

Duration = pain; equities priced for perfection. Preserve & protect.

• 180+ projects completed; nonequity investment hit $7.6B in 18 months (4× 2020–24).

M&A tape: Q3 –10% YoY, yet $3.8T YTD keeps the $5T+ chase alive.

Regulatory window still wide open; boardrooms writing bigger checks.

Late‑cycle mix = rate‑hike risk + AI tail‑risk convexity + election‑timing drag…outcome gap = 6% GDP upside vs economic downside.

Auto‑macro is tightening: gasoline shocks

Auto SAAR slippage, new‑car payments at $821/mo, Manheim +1.4% YoY, EV ATPs −2.7% YoY, insurance CPI finally rolling over.

ISM prices + new orders both firming, adding upstream pressure.

…unemployment stays near historic lows.

SNAP ↓, state load ↑, muni vols perking.

$100B federal spend compression → states absorb coverage loss + admin drag → liquidity dispersion → spread differentiation

…. #muni markets will price the fiscal handoff next?

Nvidia just dropped a $150B repurchase bomb, the largest in history, while Apple keeps its long‑running capital‑return machine humming with repeated $75–110B authorizations.

Yet BofA flow data shows real buyback activity rolling over, 4‑week averages off highs, YoY down 34%
