  • Are more optimistic on global growth: readings have improved for all of the economy, inflation and corporate profits.
  • And this is down to optimism on China exploding - growth expectations at 3y highs!
  • Are nevertheless more cautious about Europe: European growth expectations (net 10% seeing weaker growth in 2013 vs net 9% seeing stronger growth prev.) have de-correlated from global growth expectations in November
  • Are still hating Japan: most contrarian regional trade
  • Hedge Funds exposure to Equities rose to its highest (40%) since 2007.
  • While a majority of investors (>70%) still believes that the US fiscal cliff is not priced into Equities - still #1 tail risk.

The Chinese optimism is very interesting.

This is a big theme we've been hitting on lately. Chinese sentiment is booming, US is fading.

Still, we're surprised to see it characterized as "exploding."
