The Kobeissi Letter adds that investors from Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, and the UK account for about USD 5.7 trillion of that exposure. Based on The Kobeissi Letter data, traders can view this as evidence of strong foreign demand that may support US equity liquidity and valuations while increasing sensitivity to USD and US rate moves. For positioning, The Kobeissi Letter figures suggest monitoring sectors with high foreign ownership and currency hedging costs when sizing risk in US equities.
