Dow's 50,000-Break Fades as Market Rotation Deepens
|
Markets have been volatile over the past week, highlighted by the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) briefly crossing the psychological 50,000 mark before slipping back below that level in choppy trade. The milestone underscored underlying bullish momentum, but the pullback reflects a market growing more selective. Rotation into value and small-cap stocks has continued, while fewer mega-cap tech names are driving gains. Even solid earnings have not guaranteed upside, as Cisco Systems (CSCO) and Alpha Picks stock AppLovin (APP) both reported generally strong quarterly results, yet sharp post-earnings selloffs signaled elevated expectations and crowded positioning.
In contrast, strength has emerged in pockets of the semiconductor space. Alpha Pick Micron Technology (MU) continued its remarkable climb after Japan's Kioxia Holdings (KXIAY) surged 18% following robust quarterly results, reinforcing confidence in the memory upcycle. Meanwhile, rate concerns persist after a stronger-than-expected nonfarm payrolls report, leaving investors focused squarely on this week's CPI data. There's more to unpack from this week's market activity. You can find the expanded analysis in the full recap. |
