• We've got to start with this move in oil - huge downside move. Major indexes moving higher. Your take is this is a headline-driven market.

    It was headline-driven and concern around the price of oil. Look what it did to bond yields - we were up last night over 4.20%, now back down below 4.10%. That move down in yields tells us there's less inflationary pressure people are expecting because of the drop in oil. Lower yields is helping certain components of the equity market.
  • You were watching a rotation away from tech, but today's recovery is all about tech - Nvidia biggest gainer, then Broadcom, Alphabet, Apple. What does that say about investor sentiment?
    Frank
  • Victoria Fernandez
    People flood back into tech very quickly. All the concern over the last couple weeks - research report, issues around AI and capex - almost just disappeared. People are looking for where to go for growth. If yields are coming down, that's actually positive for these tech names.
  • President says he believes we're close to this war ending, and there's plans potentially to release petroleum reserves. You said it was a high risk bull market - is it still?
    Frank
  • Victoria Fernandez
    I do think it's still a high risk bull market. Before strikes started, you could see bull market continue to run because CapEx was good, productivity was good, earnings were good. If we're close to having it over, investors look back to where we were before strikes started.
  • We are seeing yields go down, oil prices go down, the VIX go down quite significantly. Where do you put money to work right now if this trend continues?
    Frank
  • Victoria Fernandez
    We haven't changed our outlook over the 6 to 12 month horizon. Continue to look at sectors that over past few months have been in uptrends: energy was in an uptrend before strikes happened, continues afterwards. Promising moves out of healthcare, industrials. Continue to put money to work in these areas.
