Breaking from over half a century of trends, the U.S. just posted negative net migration in 2025—a first. While this sounds like dry demography, it's actually worth watching. Population shifts drive consumer behavior, labor markets, and ultimately, macroeconomic cycles that ripple through asset markets. When migration patterns flip this dramatically, it signals broader economic headwinds or shifts in growth narratives. Worth keeping on your radar as a macro indicator.

Negative migration in the US? Now this gets interesting. We need to pay attention to the ripple effects on the labor market.

Is the net migration of the US population turning negative? This is interesting. In the short term, consumer spending may cool down, but in the long term, it depends on how the rebound happens.

Negative immigration in the US… Now things are about to change, and the macro environment will shift. There will definitely be major moves within three years. Historical cycles tell us that when population flows reverse, asset markets need to be re-priced. Let's just watch for now; it might be a new growth opportunity.
