Investor sentiment was supported by resilient economic data and a solid earnings season, which helped the S&P 500 and Nasdaq reach new highs. At the same time, the rally was not without risks. Higher Treasury yields, elevated oil prices, inflation concerns and uncertainty around Iran and the Strait of Hormuz created short periods of volatility. This made the market more selective. ๐˜พ๐™ค๐™ข๐™ฅ๐™–๐™ฃ๐™ž๐™š๐™จ ๐™ฌ๐™ž๐™ฉ๐™ ๐™จ๐™ฉ๐™ง๐™ค๐™ฃ๐™œ ๐™œ๐™ง๐™ค๐™ฌ๐™ฉ๐™, ๐™˜๐™ก๐™š๐™–๐™ง ๐˜ผ๐™„ ๐™š๐™ญ๐™ฅ๐™ค๐™จ๐™ช๐™ง๐™š ๐™–๐™ฃ๐™™ ๐™จ๐™ค๐™ก๐™ž๐™™ ๐™œ๐™ช๐™ž๐™™๐™–๐™ฃ๐™˜๐™š ๐™ฌ๐™š๐™ง๐™š ๐™ง๐™š๐™ฌ๐™–๐™ง๐™™๐™š๐™™, ๐™ฌ๐™๐™ž๐™ก๐™š ๐™ฌ๐™š๐™–๐™ ๐™š๐™ง ๐™ข๐™–๐™ง๐™œ๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™จ ๐™ค๐™ง ๐™˜๐™–๐™ช๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ค๐™ช๐™จ ๐™ค๐™ช๐™ฉ๐™ก๐™ค๐™ค๐™ ๐™จ ๐™ฌ๐™š๐™ง๐™š ๐™ฅ๐™ช๐™ฃ๐™ž๐™จ๐™๐™š๐™™ ๐™ฆ๐™ช๐™ž๐™˜๐™ ๐™ก๐™ฎ. ๐Ÿ’ผ ๐™‹๐™ค๐™ง๐™ฉ๐™›๐™ค๐™ก๐™ž๐™ค ๐˜ผ๐™˜๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ซ๐™ž๐™ฉ๐™ฎ For the portfolio, May was active and constructive. ๐™Ž๐™š๐™ซ๐™š๐™ง๐™–๐™ก ๐™๐™ค๐™ก๐™™๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™œ๐™จ ๐™ง๐™š๐™ฅ๐™ค๐™ง๐™ฉ๐™š๐™™ ๐™จ๐™ฉ๐™ง๐™ค๐™ฃ๐™œ ๐™ง๐™š๐™จ๐™ช๐™ก๐™ฉ๐™จ, ๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™˜๐™ก๐™ช๐™™๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™œ ๐™‹๐™–๐™ก๐™–๐™ฃ๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ง, ๐˜ฟ๐™–๐™ซ๐™š, ๐˜ผ๐™ง๐™ž๐™จ๐™ฉ๐™– ๐™‰๐™š๐™ฉ๐™ฌ๐™ค๐™ง๐™ ๐™จ, $APP (Applovin Corp) ๐™–๐™ฃ๐™™ ๐™€๐™ญ๐™š๐™ก๐™ž๐™ญ๐™ž๐™จ, which supported the long-term investment case, even if reactions remained selective due to high expectations.

Deckers remains a high-quality company, but Iโ€™m more cautious due to margin pressure and slower domestic growth. Alibaba and BK Technologies also reported, with Alibaba offering AI and cloud exposure, while BKTI continues to offer profitable niche growth.
