The Week at a Glance

Market Snapshot

  • Stock markets struggled last week, with firm US inflation data further pushing out Fed easing expectations.

    • The S&P 500 dipped 0.1%, with consumer discretionary and health care lagging.

    • Nasdaq dropped 0.5%.

  • The US CPI report was the main data event, and it came in warm.

    • Headline inflation was 3.2% year-on-year in February, a tick above consensus, while core inflation was 3.8% y/y, a notch above consensus.

  • As the market awaits rate cuts, it still looks like the Fed will have to lean on this inflation pressure, and we continue to believe the first rate cut will be in July.

  • Broad Sector Overview:

    • Movers: Big technology and communication services names continue to drive the market.

    • Slackers: Defensives have been relatively quiet, with consumer staples and health care both underperforming the broader S&P 500.

  • Where is the strength? These industries stand out:

    • Semiconductors (same as last week)

    • Industrial Suppliers

    • Speciality Retailers
