It’s All About the Money Flow

Over the last decade, the emergence of cloud computing, e-commerce, and the digital revolution powered a dominant move in technology and communication stocks that allowed the sector to capture an increasingly larger share of investor fund flows. As the rate of change in growth for technology slows, we believe investors are beginning to search for other areas of the stock market that may offer a more attractive home for their money.

In this week’s market update, we discuss which areas of the stock market are potential recipients of technology dollars and how the direction of the U.S. dollar and 10-year U.S. interest rates offer clues to where those dollars may flow. Second, we will assess the state of implied volatility and how its direction ultimately influences the asset allocation decisions of large institutional investors. Lastly, we will wrap everything up with a quick health check on the credit markets and what that tells us about the sustainability of the current stock market rally.

Key Takeaways

  1. The U.S. Dollar is breaking down and the yield curve is steepening buy commodities, industrials, and bank stocks
  2. VIX is busted → buy dips in the market 
  3. Sell rallies in technology as higher long term rates compress multiples
