In this episode ofMilk Road Macro, John Gillen breaks down why recent macro data suggests we’re not at the end of the cycle, but potentially entering a mid-cycle re-acceleration that most investors are completely overlooking. We dive into what expanding market breadth really means, why the Russell 2000 and small-cap stocks matter more than the Magnificent 7 right now, and how key indicators like the ISM Manufacturing PMI and new orders are reshaping the macro outlook. While sentiment remains deeply negative, the underlying data points to a healthier economy, a broader bull market, and conditions that historically support risk assets.
