"Gulf war creates persistent energy supply disruptions driving stagflationary pressures and central bank policy dilemmas. USD gained 2.6% since conflict start but remains overvalued."
Executive Summary
QCAM maintains neutral macro positioning amid Gulf war uncertainties that have created entrenched oil and gas supply shortages lasting longer than markets anticipate. The conflict has damaged critical infrastructure in a region accounting for 20% of global energy supply, with Iran leveraging Strait of Hormuz control as bargaining chip. Early March inflation data shows half percentage point increase, transforming goldilocks scenario into stagflation with rising prices and falling growth. Central banks face policy dilemma as inflation pressures mount faster than growth implications materialize. Fed expected to stay on hold potentially easing year-end, while ECB and BoE likely hike 25 bps once. USD gained 2.6% since war start but remains 13% overvalued on DXY basis. FX markets experiencing continued volatility bouncing between de-escalation hopes and escalation fears. Business sentiment positioning shifted 30% long USD with shorts in EUR, CHF, and GBP. Overall strategy maintains slight USD long bias through small EUR and CHF shorts while keeping macro positions neutral pending conflict resolution.
