Mixed signals

MIXED

Plays out —Conviction —Expected impact —

How to read this

Plays out — when the earliest effect is expected to hit the market. Shorter = more urgent.
Conviction — the model's average confidence across every mechanism and ripple. 0% = guessing, 100% = certain. An average, so a single high-confidence path can be buried.
Expected impact — average size of the expected moves. 0% = noise, 100% = outsized. Also an average.
Conflicts — instruments where signals from different asset classes disagree. Tap the chip to see which ones.

Desk note· Summary

Fed's Paulson signaled rates will stay on hold for longer, which is likely to strengthen the US dollar over the next few days because higher US rates attract investors. This could push gold (XAUUSD) and the euro (EURUSD) lower. At the same time, sticky inflation and a strong job market reduce recession fears, which could support stocks (SPX) and bonds (TLT). If you're watching currencies, keep an eye on EURUSD this week.
