While the big move higher in the US stock market following the Trump victory - a move which it is safe to say virtually every so-called expert, with a few exceptions, called wrong - has been duly noted, and has since started to fizzle, the real story is what has happened below the market's surface, where the rotations from one sector to another in the past three weeks have been unlike anything seen in years.
With the last traces of the Trumpflation rally still noticeable, US equity inflows continued last week as positive economic data surprises rose to a 4-year high. Inflows into US equities ($4.4bn) continued for a 4th straight week, cumulatively adding $45bn. This is the longest consecutive stretch of inflows since June 2014, i.e., when the severe dollar shock began.

Forget the "impossible trinity" - Turkey is facing a just as impossible dilemma where it is trying to juggle two things at the same time: attempts to lower interest rates while supporting its currency, and predictably it is failing.
On Friday, the Turkish Lira crashed to record lows, plunging as much as 3.60 against the dollar when Turkish president Erdogan urged banks to lower interest rates because in order to stimulate investment in the economy "there is no other remedy".
