INSIGHT

Go Global Still Makes Sense Despite Recent Pullback

  • Ed Yardeni argues investors should choose between overweighting the U.S. or going global because the U.S. is already 65% of global market cap.
  • He shifted to a go-global stance in December and says emerging markets, Europe, and Japan now offer lower valuation multiples and clear opportunities.
ANECDOTE

Yardeni Admits He Overstayed U.S. Overweight

  • Yardeni recounts that he stayed overweight U.S. from 2010 through almost end of last year and admits he overstayed his welcome.
  • He officially recommended going global on December 7th and saw the call work until geopolitical tensions shifted flows back to the U.S.

Higher Oil Prices Won't Necessarily Sink The Global Economy

  • Yardeni says $100 oil is not necessarily a global-economy killer and past spikes to $120 were temporary.
  • He expects oil may linger near $100 while Middle East tensions calm and then fall back, reducing long-term macro drag.
