SPX, NDX Pullback After CPI Beats...Real Estate, Utilities, Basic Materials Lead Sectors...Small Caps, Housing stocks Rise...


© 2024


The SPX -49.37, 5,584, opened flat, traded in a range for 30 minutes, began to aggressively sell off and closed lower just below Wednesday’s low.  The NDX -2.24% also closed lower.  

Technology and semiconductor stocks moved lower, and small cap and housing stocks moved higher after the CPI report beat consensus: M/M -0.1% vs 0.1% est. and Y/Y 3.0% vs 3.1% est. Core M/M 0.1% vs 0.2% est. and Y/Y 3.3% vs 3.5% est.

This reflects expectations, actual results may vary.  Both the PCE and CPI results really highlight the Feds inability to articulate a non-ambiguous reality-based discussion of inflation’s path.

I saw these headlines today: “S&P 500 falls from record as investors rotate out of tech winners” and separately, “Nasdaq ends sharply lower as investors rotate out of Big Tech.”

 What do these representations mean to you? 

Did investors really rotate out of tech winners? 

Let’s face it, some number of investors sell every day, so what constitutes a rotation?

The intriguing thing about the financial media is that they engage in this type of ambiguity every single day, and that it’s not viable for readers to know what they mean or even if their representation is accurate.

Here’s the numbers:

 What this means is that 99%+ of AAPL, MSFT, GOOGL, and META shares were NOT sold, and 98%+ of NVDA shares were NOT sold. 

  Does well less than 1% of outstanding shares constitute a rotate out?
