Three critical elements: 1) Oil prices – we think we'll quickly get to $70. OPEC will go full out, Trump will encourage them. 2) New Fed Chair Kevin Warsh uses forecasting, not data-dependence. He'll adjust inflation measures properly. 3) We should have 75bps of cuts over the next year, driving the 10-year down to ~4%, justifying our 23x multiple on rising earnings.
If OPEC went full out before the war, we'd be at $55. We're keeping a $15 risk premium because this is just an agreement to agree. The risk is all to the upside – earnings are exploding.
