Mega Cap Growth Surges, As Small Caps Sink

Three big things you need to know: First, the continued outperformance of mega cap Growth stocks has been logical, but still somewhat jarring to us. Second, Small Caps broke to clear new lows relative to Large Caps last week as risks piled up including a Fed that seems inclined to cut just once this year. We’d stay on the sidelines with Small Caps for now. Third, investor sentiment continues to concern us, and we’ve added consumer sentiment to our list of worries for the stock market following the Michigan survey miss. One offset is that the US may benefit from safe-haven seeking if flows to European equity funds deteriorate.
