ZINGER KEY POINTS
- Henrik Zeberg said that stocks are likely on their way up while the dollar index (DXY) is likely on its way down.
- Last week, Zeberg predicted that Bitcoin would skyrocket this summer.
Macroeconomist Henrik Zeberg expects a massive blow-off top for equities in the coming months, saying recently that the stock market could likely head to one of the biggest crashes in history.
In a Twitter post on Saturday, Zeberg said that stocks are likely on their way up, while the dollar index (DXY) — which pits the USD against a basket of foreign currencies — is likely on its way down.
The macroeconomist also shared a chart that included his prediction for the iShares MSCI Emerging Index Fund, an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that aims to track an index of large and mid-cap emerging market equities.
Zeberg tweeted that he sees the equities markets collapsing as the dollar index goes on a parabolic surge.
Last week, Zeberg predicted that Bitcoin BTC/USD-0.06% would skyrocket this summer as worries over an impending recession gradually fade. The macroeconomist said that a “blow-off top” scenario is unfolding for both stocks and crypto, caused mostly by a drop in fixed-income yields.
Zeberg added that he believes that a significant decline in yields would drive a market rally while the economy would remain in a comfortable “Goldilocks zone.”
Meanwhile, Morgan Stanley‘s Managing Director and Chief Currency Economist Stephen Jen told the Financial Times last week that the U.S. dollar has “suffered a stunning collapse as a reserve currency, which has seemingly quickened after Washington decided to wield its control over the dollar-based international financial system against Russia.”
