    It seems to me in a lot of these charts rate-of-change was decisively in a positive trend by May 1st, and that aligns with how equity markets have performed. In 2018-19 all I heard from macro community was that ROC is all that matters when it comes to markets. So why did no one in Macro community (I don't mean just RV) talk about this? Because absolute numbers were so big?

      Actually, Keith on Hedgeye talks about this almost every day on his Macro Show.

    So we were just waiting for the chairman to speak for the thesis to roll out! Cheers to Raoul money were made today by sticking to the theory and listening to the alternative markets rather than the stock market!

    I suspect Singapore retail drop reflects fewer tourists shopping in Orchard Road high end boutiques

      I'm in Singapore. We are still under lockdown - most people are working from home, and we buy things online to be delivered (through services such as Grab)
