Looking ahead to 2025, here's what the macro outlook suggests:

The case for optimism centers on gold and emerging markets—traditional hedges gaining traction as currency concerns mount and global rebalancing accelerates. Meanwhile, traditional dollar-denominated assets face headwinds.

US equities, fiat currency exposure, illiquid asset holdings, and bonds all present challenges in this environment. The underlying theme: investors need to rethink where their capital actually flows in a period of monetary uncertainty and shifting geopolitical dynamics.

For traders and portfolio managers, the split between what's working and what's struggling has never been clearer. It's less about picking individual stocks and more about getting asset class positioning right.

Here comes the dollar again... But on the other hand, the opportunities in gold and emerging markets are indeed there.

Gold and emerging markets are the real trump cards; USD assets need to be cautious. The 2025 landscape will undergo a major reshuffle.

Really, now is the era of gold and emerging markets. USD assets should be reduced.

Here comes the naysaying about the US dollar again. Is it really a matter of real guns and bullets, or just talk on paper? --- Gold and the emerging markets—everyone's talking about these old tunes now. The key is how long they can hold on. --- Asset allocation is more important than stock picking, I agree. But in practice, it still comes down to luck. --- Is the US dollar really going to end? Why do I still feel it's so resilient? --- Currency uncertainty = my wallet is also uncertain. Honestly, I can't handle it. --- I'll need to reorganize my holdings in 2025. So annoying. --- If US stocks, US bonds, and the US dollar all tank together, what should I go all-in on? Make it clear. --- The risks in the emerging markets aren't small either. Don't just talk about the good, mention the bad. --- The geopolitical variable is really hard to predict. Anyway, I'm just going to lie flat.

Data shows that USD assets are cooling down; gold and emerging markets are the real winners. Although... I'm tired of hearing phrases like "historical lows."
