Global Economic Recovery, Political Risk and Commodities by Didier Saint-Georges, Managing Director and Member of the Investment Committee, Carmignac

Global Economic Recovery, Political Risk and Commodities by Didier Saint-Georges, Managing Director and Member of the Investment Committee, Carmignac

A global economic recovery is underway. Growth has picked up across global markets for about a year, although during that same period markets have also had to contend with bouts of short-term volatility, with political risk driving much of that volatility. The Macron victory in the French presidential election, who campaigned on a pro-European platform, should now drastically diminish political risk on that continent and allow investors to focus on its economic fundamentals instead. As political risk dissipates, eyes are now also on central banks in the US and in Europe and on what they will do to navigate their economies through the different cycles of the recovery. Deflation is no longer the most potent threat facing the global economy. Instead, inflation is likely to take center stage and keep policymakers on their toes in the near future.

The cycle should become more than ever the key feature to assess. Financial markets are currently experiencing a synchronized growth, favourable for risky assets. Europe and EM are reaping the benefits of an economic upturn with a delay, whereas the US economy is more exposed to the risk of a deceleration in growth momentum, partly induced by political noise.

Emerging markets, which are export-dominant economies, are best positioned to keep benefiting from a recovery in the global economy. Their economic fundamentals, too, are improving for emerging markets, making them an appealing investment destination. In addition, corporate earnings have historically moved in lockstep with international trade, so it is reasonable to expect a growth in corporate earnings as international trade continues to increase.

In Latin America, where many structural economic changes are underway in countries like Brazil, Argentina and Colombia, and after a lackluster growth trend during recent periods, the conditions are set to take advantage of this global positive cycle. However, investors have to keep several risks in mind. One of the risks could come from Trump administration’s protectionist agenda that could still directly impact economies like Mexico, which are highly dependent on US trade. Another risk could come from China, which has been a major source of foreign direct investment for Latin American countries like Peru. Indeed, the ongoing pressure of capital outflows, coupled with its rising debt to GDP ratio point to an unsteady growth basis for China. This is a threat to Latin American countries that must not be ignored.

On the commodity front, it has been a volatile start of the year. Short term oil price tends to be a function of market expectations, news flow, and variation in inventories. Over the short term, there is a strong case for oil prices rising through the next few months as US inventories draw down, OPEC discipline is maintained, and global demand continues to grow at a solid pace. However, over the longer term, the risk of US shale producers to start producing and exporting more, based on increasing capacity, could create a lingering risk of a disruption to the demand- supply balance.

Besides our positive short term view on oil, we are also positive on the near term outlook for mining and materials names, as long as the momentum in Chinese infrastructure spending continues. We favor base metals miners, while we also see some meaningful upside coming from metallurgical coal production for export to China, given the Chinese restriction on coal mining activity and environmental focus which looks set to provide a continuing boost for the seaborne coal market. In the long term, Chinese excess credit creation remains a risk, but for the time being, we do not see the credit impulse running into the ground.

Dogecoin in a portfolio: A small 1% allocation has a loud bark!

Publicerad

den

Dogecoin has outperformed other major cryptoassets over the past decade, while also exhibiting a low correlation to crypto and traditional assets. This creates a compelling argument for a portfolio allocation. We tested a Bitcoin-enhanced growth portfolio, which is a traditional 60/40 infused with 3% Bitcoin, and we introduced a modest 1% DOGE allocation. Since most prospective investors likely already hold Bitcoin, this offers a lens into how the two assets can complement each other.

Dogecoin has outperformed other major cryptoassets over the past decade, while also exhibiting a low correlation to crypto and traditional assets. This creates a compelling argument for a portfolio allocation. We tested a Bitcoin-enhanced growth portfolio, which is a traditional 60/40 infused with 3% Bitcoin, and we introduced a modest 1% DOGE allocation. Since most prospective investors likely already hold Bitcoin, this offers a lens into how the two assets can complement each other.

Despite the small portfolio allocation, every approach delivered stronger returns. The benchmark returned 7.25% annually, while DOGE-enhanced portfolios reached as high as 8.95%. Sharpe ratios improved in almost all tests, indicating better risk-adjusted returns. Volatility did slightly tick up, but drawdowns remained largely contained. Even with no rebalancing, the max drawdown only deepened by a few percentage points, underscoring that even a 1% DOGE allocation adds meaningful punch without destabilizing the broader portfolio.

Rebalancing remains essential to capturing upside effectively. Without it, returns can plateau while risk quietly compounds. Monthly or weekly rebalancing offered the best balance, maximizing returns while keeping volatility and drawdowns in check, especially during periods of broader market stress, as we’ve recently seen. Given Dogecoin’s momentum-driven nature, a more strategic approach linked to broader crypto market cycles may offer even greater optimization beyond routine rebalancing.

With the right structure, a 1% allocation to Dogecoin isn’t reckless—it’s rewarding.

Bear Case

Despite strong fundamentals and a rich cultural legacy, Dogecoin’s recent rally, fueled by post-election memecoin mania, may have front-run its true cycle potential. As attention shifts to newer narratives, DOGE risks being seen as ’yesterday’s play,’ potentially underperforming even in a rising market. Still, that wouldn’t signal a flaw in its model, just a pause in a fast-rotating cycle.

Assuming a continued 10% compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) from its 2021 peak of $0.73, DOGE would be projected to land around $0.38 by 2025—still more than 2x from today’s levels but modest relative to past cycles. More notably, this would mark the first time Dogecoin fails to reach a new all-time high in a full market cycle.

Neutral Case

Dogecoin may not dominate headlines like it did at its peak, but it still holds cultural relevance and widespread recognition. In a scenario where the total crypto market cap peaks at $5 trillion this cycle and DOGE maintains a solid, albeit slightly reduced, market share of 3% instead of its previous 4%, this would result in a market capitalization of approximately $150 billion for DOGE.

At that valuation, DOGE would trade near $1 per coin, a ~5.5x gain from current levels around $0.185. This neutral case assumes Dogecoin retains its stature as the leading memecoin, despite increased competition, with stable adoption and renewed retail interest, but without the same euphoria of the last cycle.

Bull Case

If we take DOGE’s bottom price of $0.007 just before the last bull run began and fast-forward two years to the bottom of the current cycle at $0.0585, that move reflects a CAGR of 189%. If DOGE were to mirror this explosive growth, DOGE would reach approximately $1.42.

In this scenario, Dogecoin benefits from renewed memecoin mania, increasing real-world adoption, and stronger interest fueled by regulatory clarity and potential integration with major platforms like Elon Musk’s X. A full return of retail enthusiasm and broad cultural momentum could reestablish DOGE as the breakout asset of the cycle, potentially even doubling its all-time high.
