Good MorningSelling resumed on Wall Street Tuesday, with the S&P 500 down more than 0.5% at the session's low. The move was led by tech stocks, with names like NVIDIA down by more than 5% and most Magnificent Seven moving lower. The selling is due to an expectation that the Fed will confirm that rate cuts are coming with today's policy statement. The news is good news, signaling easier economic times ahead, and will lead to new highs for the S&P 500 once sector rotation is completed.
The bad news is that sector rotation could take weeks if not months. The rally preceding the rotation lasted more than two years, driven by economic normalization post-pandemic and compounded by robust consumer spending, inflation, and AI; it will take some time to unwind. When it does, the market will be ready for another rally, this time broader and lasting much longer. Featured: Unlock Your Opportunity (See inside) (DTI)
