This strategist says: There is only one “perfect asset” to combat all the bad news that can come

The dollar and cash have been among the most popular havens for investors as they contend with the risks of higher rates of recession and higher inflation, along with a brutal war in Europe.

but we have Today’s call From Warren Pies, co-founder and strategist at 3Fourteen Researchsee energy The Hedge any bad news in the pipeline. As he notes, after years of moving in opposite directions, stocks and bonds are starting to slide together.

“I think you have a lot of potential outcomes in the future now that stocks and bonds correlate positively. There are very few assets that can hedge the risks that are out there,” Bayes said in The interview was published last Friday with Real Vision.

And while the Fed may try to raise its rates in order to bring down energy prices — a major cause of high inflation — they may not succeed because they “can’t influence the main driver of oil at the moment” — geopolitics, Bayes said.

“If we go ahead with full sanctions on Russian oil and really get out of this impasse that is happening now and is stopping, the world will suffer from a shortage of a lot of oil,” he said, and this would create a “single crisis of recession.” “Oil is going to do its own thing…which is why you need to be exposed to oil through the energy in your wallet.”

For the types of oil companies, Bayes advises to keep it simple. “You don’t need to take any kind of company or beta risk here. Buying beleathers, big energy companies, liquid energy companies.

“If you want to be a little different or out of the standard, we still like the big Canadian producers because they have more or less lower cost of production and maintenance,” he said.

Then transfer the rest of the portfolio to the quality companies. “You’re just trying to avoid the unprofitable technical stuff,” Bayes said.

The strategist sees a setting similar to what happened after the last technical bubble between 2000 and 2005, when markets entered a new secular bull market for commodities, and quality as well as energy lagged in the market, especially the technology field. He sees this similar setup in operation over the next year.

Weighing whether the stock market is looking to the bottom, Bays said, if the S&P 500 hits 3,600 live, it will start buying. “We did it last time. On June 16, we reported to our clients after they’ve been bearish all year, saying bring about 25% or 33% of your capital back into the market here. And if we get there again, we’ll do the same. “.

And at worst, the S&P 500 drops to 3200? “We could be another 10% lower, but if you can’t handle a 10% dip in that business, you’re in the wrong business,” Bayes said.
