Relief of Inflation Pressure
The sharp retreat of inflation data both on consumer level CPI and wholesale level PPI injects fuel for the stock markets.
All indexes are making 52-week highs accordingly.
As stated in our 07/01/2023 article “Halftime Report of 2023”, all pictures look bullish for the stock market for the second half of 2023. However, it would be hard to enter a new position in the mega tech stocks (META, MSFT, GOOGL, NVDA, MSFT). But, there are many other areas that still are about to break out from bases that offer a better risk-reward ratio for the new position.
- Hotels: MGM, LVS, WYNN
- Banks: JPM, BAC
- Medical: IDXX
The market is overbought in the short term, so it is due for a pullback. However, some stocks are ready to get out of the mud after the extended base. Therefore, the strategy is to look for emerging candidates for watchlist or portfolio members.
