US Inflation Incoming The Delivery Time Diffusion Index for the Philadelphia Fed (District 3) has been the best leading indicator for CPI 6 months ahead (R² = 0.27 since 2000). Right now, it signals that CPI is likely bottoming and set to rise into Q1 2026.
Post intéressant pour essayer d’identifier les classes d’asset qui performent le mieux lorsque le S&P 500 et le Nasdaq sont dessous leur 200-day moving averages “Nothing good happens below the 200-day moving average ”
avec une conclusion à méditer." Long-term U.S. Treasuries (TLT) have also tended to perform well in downturns; however, their hedging effectiveness is highly contingent on the macroeconomic backdrop. For instance, TLT posted strong gains during the deflationary bear market of 2008 but suffered steep losses in the inflationary environment of 2022. This highlights that Treasuries offer conditional protection, with their performance varying depending on the nature of the bear market". Et je prédis que ce sera encore le cas en 2025 (environement inflationiste meme si Trump va tout faire pour forcer une baisse des taux!)
Gold, Treasuries, USD, and More…
a more recent sample using daily data, with market regimes defined by the SPY ETF’s position relative to its 200-day moving average. The data, sourced from EODHD, covers the full available history for each ETF, ending in April 2025. The following ETFs are included in the analysis:
SPY – S&P 500 Index
GLD – Gold
USO – Crude Oil
TLT – 20+ Year U.S. Treasury Bonds
DBC – Broad Commodity Index
UUP – U.S. Dollar Index
TIP – Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS)
BTAL – Dollar-neutral strategy: long low-beta stocks, short high-beta stocks
These ETFs span a diverse range of asset classes, offering exposure to equities, commodities, currencies, and fixed income. This allows for a broader evaluation of how different market segments behave across bull and bear regimes (below or above 200 daily average). Below, I plot Sharpe ratios of these assets to assess their resilience in downturns and sensitivity to equity market risk.
The results reveal that crude oil (USO) and broad commodity exposures (DBC) have significantly underperformed during equity bear markets, whereas gold and the anti-beta ETF BTAL have demonstrated notable resilience. Long-term U.S. Treasuries (TLT) have also tended to perform well in downturns; however, their hedging effectiveness is highly contingent on the macroeconomic backdrop. For instance, TLT posted strong gains during the deflationary bear market of 2008 but suffered steep losses in the inflationary environment of 2022. This highlights that Treasuries offer conditional protection, with their performance varying depending on the nature of the bear market.

Why Hedged Equity Strategies Often Perform Well in Down Markets
The table simply shows certain regularities that tend to occur during deep market declines.
The first column shows the BMCR for each investment or strategy. The second column, the Bear Market Consistency Score, represents the average finishing position of each investment across the six bear markets – a lower number indicates more consistent performance. The final column displays the worst maximum drawdown for each investment over the six significant market declines.
Pour compléter le graphe sur l’inflation voici le graphe sur le projected 4-year real GDP growth (FED, CongressionalBudget Office). Argh! Stagflation. Papier par John P. Hussman, Ph.D. President, Hussman Investment Trust, The turtle and the pendulum. Ce papier est aussi un spécial pour @vincent.p parce qu’il traite d’un de ses dadas, " The turtle and the pendulum – how valuations drive long-term returns".
Sympa cet article, merci pour le partage !
Quelles que soient les métriques et les implémentations, on revient à nos premières amours : Value et Momentum.
C’est vrai qu’on parle peu de cette période et pourtant!
inflation record, stagflation, 1973 prix du pérole *4 et puis par 2 encore au début des années 80.
fin de la convertilite du $ en or. Ce qui définit maintenant le système monétaire international avec en particulier essor de la dette par création monétaire et plus de flexibilité en terme de politique monétaire par les banques centrales.
En ces temps chaotiques, il est bon de se rapeller que tout n’a pas été rose mais après la pluie le beau temps…
Une excellente source pour les rendements ici
effectivement pas terrible de 1971 à 1981
