The performance gap between tech and the rest of the market: Tom Essaye Quoted in Forbes

Why A Magnificent 7 Breather Could Be A Good Thing For The Stock Market

“The performance gap between tech and the rest of the market is so wide that it’s reasonable to expect continued closing of that gap as markets more fully embrace the idea of the start of a rate cutting cycle,” summarized Sevens Report founder Tom Essaye, noting in the “near term” non-tech sectors may mount a catchup rally. Essaye is referring to Thursday’s strong inflation data which bolstered calls for the Federal Reserve to soon lower interest rates, which broadly help most equities but tend to favor certain rate-sensitive sectors like real estate.

The meme stock rally hints at a lingering complacency amongst investors: Tom Essaye Quoted in Forbes

GameStop, AMC Stocks Surge Another 100% As Meme Stock Rally Accelerates

The meme stock rally “hints at a lingering complacency amongst investors,” Sevens Report founder Tom Essaye wrote to clients Tuesday. Essaye cautioned it’s hard to draw conclusions from the price actions of relatively small stocks like AMC and GameStop, but considering the runway these stocks had to surge with little pushback, the broader market may be “vulnerable to an ‘air pocket’” on a negative catalyst.

Sevens Report founder Tom Essaye explains the gold rally

Investors piled into a new refuge as the U.S. dollar lost value and interest rate expectations dwindled: Tom Essaye Quoted in Forbes

What’s Up With Gold? Here’s Why Everyone From Costco To Central Banks Is Rushing In.

Sevens Report founder Tom Essaye explains the rally initially began late last year, as investors piled into a new refuge as the U.S. dollar lost value and interest rate expectations dwindled before getting a further bump from renewed concerns in 2024 about the potential for lingering inflation. And despite the Costco mania, it’s actually institutional investors and central banks, especially those coming from China, driving much of the surging demand for gold, as investors and bankers from China and other largely non-Western countries look to hedge against an economic downturn scenario while simultaneously lessening their dependence on the American dollar.
