FOCUS: North American equities, dividend stocks
Top Picks: Boeing, Disney, Citigroup
MARKET OUTLOOK:
Has the great rotation finally begun?July certainly suggests so.The Russel Small Caps are up 10 per cent compared to the Nasdaq which is essentially flat. Banks, utilities and real estate have joined the party. Is it time to lessen weighting to the concentrated positions of technology?Tesla and Alphabet would suggest so, but Microsoft, AMD and Meta suggest otherwise.
We believe there remain great opportunities in the Nasdaq but also in a wide swath of equities.Fixed income and cash still remain attractive as well. The direction of interest rates is important.Do not fight the U.S. Federal Reserve.
