Meridian Scenario Models
Cross-Asset Scenario Digest
Seven Meridian scenario models across US, China, Europe, Asia-Pacific and multi-asset — driven by live cross-asset signals.
Consensus
Scenarios skew defensive: quality, dividends, and macro hedges dominate.
Divergence
Divergence: US growth & global-cycle scenarios lean constructive vs China-policy & Asia-tech on regional beta; Europe/UK scenarios emphasize defensives when volatility rises.
Meridian Intelligence View
Meridian Intelligence: We weight live cross-asset signals over scenario alignment. These are proprietary Meridian scenario models — not third-party sell-side research. Position sizing should reflect liquidity, marginal flow, and our Asia transmission score — not scenario poll counts.
US Growth · AI Productivity
United States
Neutral
Scenario overweight US equities with AI capex leaders; soft-landing odds above recession baseline.
