Episode notes
Handoff From Mega Caps To Broad Market Is Fragile
- Consensus expects MAG-7 deceleration offset by equal-weight acceleration, a fragile handoff.
- History shows the MAG-7 can re-extend outperformance, undermining that offset assumption.
Mega Caps Have Far Outpaced The Market
- The MAG-7's earnings growth has vastly outpaced the rest of the market over recent years.
- This divergence explains concentration of market gains and risk if their growth slows.
Bond Market's Quiet Assumptions
- The bond market currently prices belief in Fed success on inflation and limited long-term Treasury issuance.
- That pricing could be challenged if deficits force more long-term issuance or Fed independence looks compromised.
