Sign InIn a move reflecting a shift in U.S. monetary policy expectations, the "rotation trade" has returned to the forefront of Wall Street following labor market data. Weaker-than-expected jobs data lifted hopes that the Federal Reserve would hold off on raising interest rates. According to reports, this shift reflects investor response to signs of a cooling economy that may compel policymakers to maintain current rate levels.
This movement comes as confidence indicators show notable divergence, with the Michigan Consumer Sentiment index hitting 49.5 in June, missing the 50.0 forecast per market data. In a peer comparison with major economies, Eurozone data showed a slight improvement in Economic Sentiment to 95 points, surpassing the previous reading of 93.7 per market data, supporting the thesis of moving toward value assets away from overextended growth stocks.
Traders should monitor upcoming Fed official communications, including Barkin's speech scheduled for June 28, for clearer signals on the rate path. Markets are also awaiting the Chinese Manufacturing PMI release on June 30, forecasted at 50.7, as these figures will play a crucial role in determining global risk appetite and the sustainability of the portfolio rotation momentum.
