Market News:
The S&P 500 closed lower Monday, as
big tech came under renewed pressure amid valuation concerns following last
week’s rotation into cyclical sectors of the market .
At 4:00 p.m., the S&P 500 fell 0.2%, the NASDAQ Composite dropped 0.6%, while the Dow Jones
Industrial Average slipped 0.1%, or 31 points.
Selling in big tech continues, but Nvidia weathers storm on JPMorgan upgrade
The sell off
in big tech seen last week continued, with Alphabet Inc Class A
(NASDAQ:GOOGL), Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:AVGO) and Oracle Corporation
(NYSE:ORCL) among the decliners.
The moves reflected a continuation of
the rotation trade that has gathered pace this week. After strong gains tied to
the artificial intelligence theme earlier this year, investors have
increasingly locked in profits and shifted toward sectors seen as more
leveraged to economic activity.
"The question of the next few weeks
is will tech be used as a source of funds in order to buy cyclicals,
or will increasing 10-year Treasury yields squash the cyclical trade, and
pushing more funds back into tech," analysts from Raymond James said in a
recent note.
Still, NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA)
managed to shrug off the broader slip tech after rising more than 1%
underpinned JPMorgan’s suggestion that the recent dip in chiipmaker’s
stock was a buying opportunity.
Markets look ahead to data and Fed
leadership signals
U.S. markets appeared set to open the
new week on firmer footing, with stock index futures edging higher on Monday
after last week’s tech-led selloff. Investors are preparing for a heavy slate
of economic releases that could shape expectations for interest rates.
Attention has also turned to the future
leadership of the Federal Reserve. According to a Wall Street Journal report,
U.S. President Donald Trump said he has narrowed his shortlist for the next Fed
chair to former Governor Kevin Warsh and National
Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett.
The prospect of a more dovish chair has
reinforced expectations for rate cuts next year, even as inflation remains
above the central bank’s 2% target and other developed economies grapple with
renewed price pressures.
On the data front, markets will focus on
nonfarm payrolls figures due Tuesday, covering November as well as October,
which was delayed earlier this quarter by a government shutdown.
Additional releases on business
activity, weekly jobless claims and inflation later in the week are expected to
provide further insight into economic momentum and the Fed’s policy path.
"This week’s jobs data could be
more important for equities’ perception of interest rate policy going forward
than last week’s FOMC meeting," Morgan Stanley strategist Michael Wilson
said.
"With the equity return/interest
rate correlation falling deeper into negative territory last week, we are now
firmly back in a good is bad/bad is good regime. This implies that moderate labor market weakness is likely to be viewed in a bullish
context by equity markets," he added.
Investors will also parse remarks from
several Fed officials in the days ahead, as well as a handful of earnings
reports, most notably those from Micron, Nike, and Accenture.
New York Fed President John Williams on
Monday said the U.S. central bank’s benchmark rate had moved closed to a level - following last week’s rate cut - that
supports waiting for economy data to evaluate the Fed’s next move on interest
rates.
