My view is market trends will Change when policy changes.
Its still inflationary policy and extrem goverment spending.
a weaker currency means asset prices up, you need more currency to buy the same asset (higher prices), because that currency becomes less valuable.
This is why US indicies are keep making all time highs for months now.
This is no accident, this is the FEDs try for a Soft Landing. Keeping some Inflation to keep assets up and maybe even cutting rates later on too.
For Trends to Change and markets to drop, you need true disinflation or Deflation. China would be the perfect example.
So the key is looking out for an actuall change in policy and goverment spending.
