As AI-related stocks dive, the market's winners have one thing in common

TL;DR

  • Technology and AI infrastructure stocks sold off sharply, impacting the Nasdaq.
  • The S&P 500's 9-week win streak is likely ending due to weakness in tech.
  • Market winners are in sectors least tied to the broader economy, such as staples, health care, real estate, and utilities.
  • Increased interest rate hike expectations, following a strong jobs report, may be driving a rotation into defensive stocks.
  • Upcoming events include Honeywell's guidance update, Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference, SpaceX's IPO, and key inflation reports (CPI and PPI).
  • JM Smucker, Casey's General Stores, Chewy, Oracle, Adobe, and Lennar are scheduled to report earnings.
