    Why markets are moving into 'positive environment for risk assets'

    US equities have bounced back (^DJI, ^IXIC, ^GSPC) from their losing streak over the past several trading sessions. As the first quarter of 2024 comes to a close at the end of this trading week, markets could be on the path for a breakout quarter. PGIM Quantitative Solutions CIO George Patterson joins Yahoo Finance's Market Domination the environment the Federal Reserve's interest rates have created for stocks, including small caps and meme trades. "It's going to be a positive environment for risk assets," Patterson explains. "That said, we do see opportunities outside of the Magnificent Seven — or maybe the Magnificent Six these days — small cap, micro cap, our segments of the markets that have really been ignored or have not participated and there's still a lot of very attractive opportunities there that I think make sense for an investor with a medium-term horizon."

    Utilities and industrials may begin to outperform: Economist

    US Equities (^GSPC, ^DJI, ^IXIC) have moved below historic highs ahead of the Friday release of Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Index data. Annex Wealth Management Chief Economist Brian Jacobsen joins The Morning Brief to discuss the FOMO-driven "meme stock" rally, when to invest and divest from market bubbles, and key sectors to watch. Jacobsen highlights several areas of the market ripe for investing: "Utilities, perhaps, if we get a little bit of stability with rates and they begin to drift lower, that could benefit utilities. But then as far as industrials and materials, those are much more cyclically oriented. And if we get manufacturing beginning to emerge from this long hibernation that it's been in, we think that's an area that's really poised to outperform for the next not just six months but perhaps even a longer period of time if you look out maybe three years."
