Is the Rest of the World Selling America?

Is the Rest of the World Selling America?

The U.S has traditionally been a safe haven for investing, but that hasn't been the case in 2025. We explore three economic and narrative regimes and consider why we may be witnessing a shift after 12 years of U.S. outperformance.

Topics covered include:

  • What was the narrative and economic and financial performance from 1995-2001, 2002-2012, and 2012 -2024.
  • How the performance of the U.S. dollar impacted returns
  • Why did economic forecasters predict the U.S. national debt would be paid off in 2011, and why were they wrong?
  • Signs that the current economic and financial narrative is shifting.
