Asia Pacific
Japan, Korea, Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, and broader APAC. Rates, inflation, labor markets, and equity benchmarks across the region.
Asia Pacific macro diverges meaningfully from U.S. cycles. Japan's multi-decade disinflation, Korea's export-driven industrial cycle, and Australia's commodity-tilted economy each respond to different drivers. Monitoring the region alongside U.S. data reveals when a global story (the China credit cycle, the semiconductor cycle, global trade growth) is the real variable behind seemingly U.S.-centric moves.
