David Rosenberg argues that the recent rise in bond yields is driven by real rates, not inflation expectations, which remain anchored. He believes the energy shock has not seeped into wages, and that core inflation is already below target when adjusted for energy-adjacent items. He sees the US consumer in a recession on the income side (real disposable income negative 1% YoY), propped up only by a falling savings rate and credit. He expects the Fed's next move to be a cut, not a hike, and that bond yields have peaked. He criticizes the ECB's rate hike as a policy mistake and views the Canadian economy as flat with a household debt crisis.

dxy
Rosenberg expects the Fed to cut rates while other central banks (ECB, BoC) are either tightening or on hold. This divergence could keep the USD rangebound, though he does not explicitly discuss the DXY.
ndx
Rosenberg states the equity risk premium is flat to negative, calling the market 'exuberant' but not 'rational'. He implies that to restore a positive risk premium, yields need to fall significantly, suggesting current valuations are unsustainable.
rut
Rosenberg's negative view on the US consumer (negative real income, falling savings rate) and his expectation of a weaker H2 economy suggest small-cap and domestic-focused stocks (RUT) would underperform.
wti
Rosenberg says oil prices 'look set to level off, potentially go down' following the Iran MOU, and that the inflation from energy 'has been broken'. He does not see a return to pre-war levels but expects relief.
yields
I think yields have peaked. I think they will come down. I think they'll come down most at the front end of the yield curve.
