1.When De-escalation meets Recession
This week has seen equities follow the post Liberation Day playbook. But at some point, the risk is this relief rally bumps up against other narratives - high energy/food prices, a Fed “policy error”, a recession.
Investors are left trying to navigate the fear of being caught short in any de-escalation rally, versus longer term fundamental concerns for the economy.
At the sector level, Materials are the second-best performing sector in the S&P500 YtD, up 9.3%. The long-term prognosis is positive but, for the tactically minded, the sector could be vulnerable to profit-taking in a de-escalation scenario.
