Tactical 10–20% correction with rotation from new-era leaders to the broad market

Conviction: 75% · Horizon: 9M · 2026-07-13
Labor, housing, and policy lags point to a sharp drawdown without a full recession

Twelve-month job growth is near zero, housing starts resemble 2009 stress, and post-conflict tightening in yields, dollar, money supply, and oil should hit momentum with typical lags. Index valuation sits far above long-term trend while defensive sector weight is at multi-decade lows.

Instrument Side Target Reason
QQQ Short New-era leadership is vulnerable to 20%-plus declines in a 10–20% index correction while technology is already off double digits from June highs and year-long broad-market outperformance suggests the relative trade is mature but portfolios remain overweight by inertia.
TLT Long If inflation reverts toward 2% amid weak labor-force growth and subdued nominal GDP, fair-value long yields sit materially below spot, making duration a hedge against growth disappointment that differs from the inflation-bond-bearish consensus.
