A mixed but ultimately flat day of trading in stocks following another decent move up in bonds as the 10 Yr came down another 8bps to 4.26%. Hard to believe we were north of 5% just last month. I was actually expecting yields on 10’s to pick back up after a better than expected upward revision to Q3 GDP mid morning, but this bond market is dead set on lower rates in 2024. All eyes will be on the inflation read tomorrow with PCE to see if that changes the narrative.
If the seven largest US technology companies were its own sector it would make up 18.2% of the market cap of the MSCI World Index and account for only 10% of the earnings. In comparison, the entire Financials sector in the MSCI World index equates to three precent less at 15.1% by market cap, but makes up over twice the earnings at 21.9%. Valuations may be a poor timing tool short term, but they do matter longer term and the multiple expansion in tech we have just seen can be easily disappointed if lower rates don’t keep pace next year.
