Please find below the links to my weekly look at the global economy and markets. It's a busy week ahead: As equity markets scale record heights and the Strait of Hormuz blockades continue amid geopolitical instability and supply-side disruptions, look also this week for high-stakes inflation data, the looming Fed leadership transition, and the China-US Summit. linkedin.com/posts/mohamedel… open.substack.com/pub/mohame… #economy #markets

On March 30, the S&P 500 was down 7% in 2026, the 12th worst start to a year in history. After one of the biggest 3-week rallies ever, it's now up +4.5% YTD and above the average year at this point in time (+3%). There is no impossible in markets. $SPX

A lot of chatter this morning already on the latest Blue Owl news (below), centered as much on the size of investor redemption requests as on the imposition of additional withdrawal caps. #economy #privatecredit #markets

True, unless they're printing money ...
📊 Starting Valuations Matter Enormously "The most important thing in medium to long-term investing is valuation. It's just the only thing that is reliably a predictor of future returns." - Jim Reid Jim's study found: 🔹 A low P/E portfolio returns 20.2% p.a. over the last 70 years with the high P/E portfolio at 11.4% 🔹 The high dividend portfolio returns 12.8% p.a. over the last 200 years, with the low dividend portfolio 9.3%. "If I was gonna be glib and say there's one secret sauce to investing, it is: buy low, sell high."

Just finished this book by ⁦@bgurley⁩ . An absolute legend & the book does not disappoint. He cites real life success and human stories in ways that will resonate. For those struggling to find your own career path, or just want inspiration, I thoroughly endorse Bill’s book.

Sorry, Mike - I was just seeing if the elevator was operational.
If you did the $SLV trade discussed on Monday, one could cover the short call, and roll the long put. cnb.cx/4t1v0RR

US data centers will consume nearly 10% of the entire US power grid by 2030. This is 4 TIMES the percentage seen in China. We need more power. Immediately.

Correct, Stan - short is the wrong direction when they print money!
Stanley Druckenmiller said he’s not sure he’s ever made money shorting even when markets looked expensive. It’s almost always better to own great businesses than try to short bad ones.
