Market is 'evolving' towards consumer discretionary: Strategist

In the first quarter of 2024, many of the AI-led tech companies performed well, with some of the Magnificent Seven experiencing a fall from grace. With some uncertainty moving ahead, and a potential pullback from historic highs, Citi has downgraded the tech sector from Overweight to Market Weight, citing a broadening out of market gains, while upgrading the consumer discretionary sector to Overweight. Citi US Equity Strategist Scott Chronert joins Yahoo Finance to break down the calls for these sectors and take a look into how the market may perform moving forward. Chronert elaborates on his position: "The market's evolving, the market's evolving away from the tech and cyclical leadership that we've had since early November. We think we're starting to see signs that the market is gradually positioning in favor of those parts of the market that should at the margin benefit from an eventual Fed [Federal Reserve] pivot, consumer [discretionary] is front and center on that.

How discount stores are carrying the retail sector

While consumer spending has remained relatively strong through inflation, retailers have struggled to stay relevant, with Macy's (M) announcing it will shutter 150 locations. Discount retailers like The TJX Companies (TJX) and Burlington Stores (BURL), however, have held up as consumers seek sales elsewhere under the pressure of inflation. JLL Americas President of Retail Naveen Jaggi joins Yahoo Finance Live to discuss the state of retail and the consumer, as well as the success of brands like Burlington. He discusses Burlington's recent growth and how it relates to the consumer: "Today, they're opening over 60 stores a year and they're taking 50, 60, 70,000 square feet in some places. To me, I'm watching that entire sector and saying where the US consumer is shopping, that's the sector I want to watch because that tells me where we spend our dollars has the most sustainability in the long run and today more than ever, the dollar value sector is grabbing a more lion's share of the US consumer than ever before."

Consumer Staples Stocks Are Issuing a Key Stock Market Warning

Those who have tracked my work over the last decade know I’m a huge fan of intermarket analysis and using relative price movement to analyze what’s really happening beneath the market’s surface. Why does this type of analysis matter? Because it’s the only way to cancel out beta. It’s also the only way to see what the market is truly thinking about certain sectors. Broadly speaking, there are two broad categories of sectors. Those that are more cyclical and that investors position into when in an

Market could hit 'all-time highs by June' in 2024: Strategist

The U.S. economy keeps pushing back against forecasts predicting a recession would hit in 2023. Now, investors are left wondering what this means looking ahead to 2024. J.P. Morgan Private Bank U.S. Equity Strategist Abby Yoder joins Yahoo Finance to discuss JPMorgan's recent upgrade in the consumer discretionary sector and the outlook for the S&P 500 (^GSPC) over the next year. "We have this concept of what we've been calling a rolling earnings recession, it's where different sectors of the S&P 500 have gone through their earnings recessions at different times," Yoder explains the reasoning behind the bullish outlook. The consumer discretionary sector "[has] already been through that earnings recession period... They've had margin support in the fact that they already cut costs, thats why we are more positive on the consumer discretionary sector."For more expert insight and the latest market action, click here to watch this full episode of Yahoo Finance Live.

Should investors be cautious or optimistic of market trends?
