long JAPANESE EQUITIES / long SPX / short European Equities
other
CNBC (uncut) · uncut_tv
Lean long Japan and broad US equities over Europe, which faces compounding headwinds from French fiscal deterioration, ongoing Ukraine/energy risk, and no near-term electoral reset to force a backstop
“We're really leaning into the likes of Japan, into the likes of U.S. equities”
Squawk on the Street — 2026-10-20 (CNBC, full episode, ads cut)
The two-week selloff in semis and tech was entirely positioning-driven — hedge fund de-grossing and deleveraging, not any change in GPU pricing or rental economics — leaving positioning so clean the sector can recover without needing a positive catalyst
“I do think the drawdown that we had in the semis of the tech sector in the last two weeks has really been fear driven”

2026-10-20
OAT
bearish
CNBC (uncut) · uncut_tv
France's fiscal situation will deteriorate further before the ECB backstops because the next election is six months away with no near-term reset, while primary market and bank lending stress have not yet materialized to force ECB action
“I fear that the story in France probably has to get worse before it gets better”

Long Dur Treasuries
bullish
CNBC (uncut) · uncut_tv
10-year yields are more likely to move lower from current levels because higher rates have already fully passed through into equity multiples and credit risk premia, setting up for rate-driven multiple expansion in risk assets
“In our view, it's lower, and that actually should really allow some of the risk premium to free up again”
