edited March 2016 in Off-Topic
Good read on the macro view of global capital markets

Spotlighting 2016’s Great Debates

Conclusion
Since I transitioned from covering financial services into a pure macro capacity in late 2003, I cannot remember a time when the cross currents have been as strong. To be sure, there is no “right” answer in terms of how to position one’s portfolio in today’s environment, as the Authorities are certainly working hard to encourage investors to move further out the risk curve. That said, our base case remains that, if 2015 was a time to get “Closer to Home” (see our 2015 Outlook piece), then 2016 still remains a time for “Adult Swim Only.” Importantly, just ten weeks into 2016, recent developments lead us to believe that the risks for the market are increasingly mounting to the downside
