Year-End Rally Underway; Many Bullish Reversals/False Breakdowns; Buys: Tech, Cons. Disc., RE, Steel
- We believe there is significant evidence that global equities (MSCI ACWI) have bottomed, and a year-end rally has begun. Buys highlighted in global Technology, Discretionary, Real Estate, and Steel/Mining.
- We discussed in our prior Int’l Compass (11/2/23) how the false breakdown in MSCI ACWI (local currency) was bullish, and a potent rally has ensued. We expect more upside ahead.
- Now getting bullish 3+ month downtrend reversals and false breakdowns in the EURO STOXX 50, ACWI-US, MSCI ACWI ex-US (ACWX-US), MSCI EM (EEM-US), and EAFE (EFA-US). Major risk-on signals everywhere.
First Huawei-Chery EV Ready for Pre-Order
- Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd. on Thursday began taking preorders for the first electric vehicle (EV) it co-developed with auto partner Chery Automobile Co. Ltd., upping the ante in its push into China’s highly competitive EV market.

Shake Up at OpenAI: Sam Gone, Mira Is Interim CEO, Greg Not Chairman but Remains as President
- Sam Altman – one of OpenAI’s founders and its CEO – has been ousted from the firm citing lack of consistent communication with the board.
- OpenAI has garnered significant spotlight around Gen AI. Surely it is generating revenues at a rapid clip but far from making profits. What will this leadership transition mean?
- Sam’s ousting was totally not expected. On 6th November, OpenAI held its first ever developer conference which was led by him. Earlier this week, he spoke at APEC conference.
