"First Eagle argues that markets are falsely priced for economic equilibrium, ignoring severe labor supply shocks and unrelenting sovereign debt risks that favor non-US equities and gold."
First Eagle Global Fund achieved a 7.23% return in Q2 2025, lagging the MSCI World Index. The firm challenges the market's 'equipoise' narrative, warning that a severe supply shock in the US labor market (induced by declining population growth and massive ICE immigration enforcement funding) threatens to spark renewed wage inflation. Simultaneously, loose global fiscal policy and a massive US deficit (projected to hit 6.9%-7.3% of GDP) continue to put upward pressure on yields. With real interest rate differentials easing, the US dollar shows signs of weakness, potentially fueling outperformance in non-US equities. First Eagle remains heavily allocated to resilient, diversified assets and gold to hedge against structural risks.
