1/ "Sell America" is the wrong frame. The right one: global investors are structurally overweight the US and Trump just made it impossible to keep ignoring. A thread on what's actually changing in global capital — and why it matters 🧵

The most interesting story in global markets right now isn’t “Sell America.” It’s that reallocating capital toward faster-growing, less-correlated economies could raise returns and reduce risk at the same time. My Essay for #Bloomberg on why this is good news! www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Global Capital’s Break With the US Is Long Overdue
Trump’s policies have accelerated an overdue shift, as US market advantages fade and investors reassess their heavy exposure to American assets.

In the 2000 elections in North Rhein-Westphalia, the #CDU's election slogan was "Kinder start Inder" "Kids, not Indians" ... As I occasionally remind my friends in the #German government, which I have advised for many years Germany's problem is "Neither did the kids come, nor did the Indians"

Excellent—an optimistic take on global rebalancing, and well worth listening to. As noted in my brief yesterday, the US absorbs more than 40% of global gross capital flows and represents 47% of equity capitalisation—far above its share of GDP. Reducing that misallocation would be good for everyone.

One can be against violent behaviour, abhor #killing and be opposed to political violence of any kind without your gut instinct being to "normalise" what was in fact abhorrent, despicable and bigoted nonsense well outside any normal civilised political discourse in a functioning democracy!

I can't imagine how #PeterMandelson can stay on as the British Ambassador to the United States after this ... Which would mean that he has had to resign, or been fired from more or less every single major government role he has ever held ... always in disgrace ... and yet, they keep calling him back
