WEEKLY UPDATE 🔆2024 WEEK 28, July 15 - 21 Dear Investors, Followers and Copiers, So far this year, a small handful of AI – related stocks have dominated the market. The rest of the market has significantly lagged, including our interest rate - sensitive portfolio. However, it seems that last week market rotation started from favoring mega – cap stocks to smaller – cap stocks. On Tuesday Fed Chair Powell said that keeping interest rates at current highs for too long could risk further economic growth and employment. On Thursday CPI data was released. June CPI fell 0.1% from May and was 3% over year. Core CPI (excludes food and energy) was at 3.3%. Treasury yields fell following that data and our portfolio bounced on the news. The reason for this is that the decelerating inflation increases the probability of interest rate cuts. As a result, the portfolio’s capital-intensive high yield stocks become more attractive, REITs in particular. CME FedWatch Tool shows that traders expect two rate cuts this year with the first in September.
