The world of Macro never fails at keeping us busy and this week I reveal the 10 charts that I currently monitor daily to keep myself up to speed on allocations amidst this turbulence. Enjoy (the ride)! It’s been evident for a while that the diversification effects from US Treasuries are weak and we are now approaching a record high correlation between Equity and Bond returns. 
</li>
<li>If you haven’t already altered your portfolio composition, it is already overdue as the 60/40 portfolio seems structurally challenged.</li>
