A weaker US Dollar, a steeper 5s30s yield curve, and rising rate volatility.
Three symptoms of the same disease, the "sell America" trade.
Which S&P 500 sectors are actually exposed?
Quant Insight's Macro Factor Equity Risk Model (MFERM) scored all 11 GICS sectors on US Dollar, 5s30s curve and rate vol exposure simultaneously.

Materials (XLB) and Industrials (XLI) are more exposed than the "obvious" inflation trade view suggests.
The same three-factor screen run at end-2024 predicted Q1 2025 with a −0.70 rank correlation. Nine of eleven sectors were called correctly, ahead of time.
