Summary

The U.S. dollar index hit 100 for the first time in two years on Friday, surging on the prospect of a more aggressive monetary tightening cycle on top of an increasingly fraught geopolitical landscape. Signs of inflation abound, even as the Federal Reserve asserts its hawkishness at every opportunity. The U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization’s food price index jumped nearly 13% in March to a new record high, with disruptions to global trade flows, specifically passage through the crucial Black Sea, fueling fears of food shortages. And prices for agricultural commodities continue to rise. U.S. equity indexes were mixed two hours before Friday’s close of regular trading, with tech stocks giving back much of what was gained on Thursday. The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note touched a new three-year high. Jeremy Schwartz, Global Chief Investment Officer at WisdomTree Asset Management, joins Warren Pies on today’s Daily Briefing to discuss the U.S. dollar, supply chain disruptions, and inflation.

Welcome to the real vision daily briefing. It's Friday, April 8th, 2022. I'm Warren

0:11.6

Pies, founder 314 research. Today, I'm joined by Jeremy Schwartz, Global Chief Investment

0:18.4

Officer at Wisdom Tree Asset Management. Jeremy, how are you doing today?

0:23.0

Warren, good to see you from Miami. Good to talk to you.

0:27.6

Yeah. Same here. Well, today, I would categorize today's market action as really

0:33.2

a continuation of a number of trends that we've seen in place really throughout the first quarter

0:37.9

of 2022. So we had rates jumping, dollar strength, especially against the yen,

0:44.8

you know, commodity strength. Within the market, we saw energy sector leading the rest of the

0:50.3

sectors and tech sector, you know, taking up the rear. So really kind of the same trade,

0:57.5

we've seen the markets held at these, these levels, you know, about $4,500 on the S&P 500,

1:02.0

right around the 200 day, 150 day, two key levels that we've pointed out in our research.

1:07.6

I know you're familiar with and that we've also discussed on these daily briefings before.

1:13.7

So that's kind of the way we see it. And Q1 now behind is moving to Q2. Feds fully

1:20.0

in gear with their tightening cycle. What do you see? How do you put some days price action in

1:25.5

the context of the bigger picture where many of these moves are continuations?

1:30.2

Yes, interesting. And for the year-to-date moves, you have the NASDAQ, which I was looking today,

1:35.7

down about 12 percent, the Q's down almost 12 percent on the year. It's the exact opposite for

1:42.5

value. So you've had this major factor rotation. If you look at like a high dividend basket,

1:46.6

it's up 10 percent on these. We have a 2,000 basis point spread. And that's, again, what is

1:51.5

happening today between high dividend value versus the growthy tech. You know, and our theme for

1:58.7

the year has been inflation. And in our macro economist that I've worked with for 20 years,

2:04.6

Professor Zeele has been calling the Fed very behind the curve. We've been saying for some time
