NDR Dynamic Allocation Strategy June 2021 Update

Dynamic Allocation Strategy, indicators, weightings update
BY BRIAN SANBORN

The Dynamic Allocation Strategy’s allocation to equities remains near 100%.

All six top-level indicators in the model (relative strength, participation, leading economic indicators, shipping rates, manufacturing, and central banks) favor equities over fixed income.
