Benny & I sat down with Gavekal Founder and CEO, Louis Vincent Gave on Thursday 12th February. My old friend Louis never disappoints - one of the best and most entertaining market strategists out there. Warning: this session was not good for the 🐿️’s confirmation bias!

Key Themes Discussed:

  • The US dollar bear case

  • AI disruption of knowledge economy and US equity valuations

  • Asian capital repatriation dynamics

  • China’s competitive advantages (energy, labor, capital costs) plus policy pivot

  • India-Russia-China triangle as a new geopolitical-economic axis

  • ‘US Treasury = commodity’ breakdown to drive physical commodity hoarding

  • Latin America as his highest-conviction trade for 2026

  • Frankly there are not enough EM financial assets to go around!
