Macro Regime Alignment

Historical analysis of which macro regimes have favoured SH. Based on the regime's characteristic interest rate environment, growth conditions, and sector rotation patterns.

Rate Hike Cycle

Fed Funds ↑↑ · Tightening

The Fed is raising rates aggressively. Duration gets crushed. Leveraged assets and growth stocks suffer most. Short-term bonds and cash finally earn yield.

Stagflation

Growth ↓ · Inflation ↑

The most damaging regime: slowing growth while prices keep rising. The Fed faces a cruel dilemma. Gold and short bonds are the few safe havens.

Deflationary Bust

Growth ↓ · Inflation ↓

Growth contracting, prices falling. Credit markets seize, defaults rise. Long Treasuries and gold are dominant as investors flee risk.

Current regime: Inflationary Boom — this ETF is not historically among the strongest performers in the current macro environment. Consider checking which ETFs are regime-aligned on the ETF Explorer.
