Factually: (a) U.S. Tech stocks (particularly software) remain under pressure.  (b) Investor exposure to tech is at historically elevated levels.  (c) Surging tech capex is coming at the cost of buybacks.  (d) Private equity stocks are also coming under pressure.  And (e) Defensive stocks and commodities are movin’ up.  Overall, per Callum Thomas… We are at a challenging juncture in markets.  Tech stocks have peaked from a point of major overvaluation and historically high allocations.  So, keep a close eye on tech and financials for purposes of risk management and additional rotation into defensives – while remaining with the bullish outlook in cyclicals, global equities, and commodities.  Rotation remains the theme.   Please feel free to read the rest of the blog post:  #investing #stocs #bonds #options

Factually: (a) Markets are deciding how broad this rally should be. (b) Investor cash allocations are at cycle lows and equity allocations are at cycle highs.  (c) Global vs US equities are at an inflection point.  And (d) despite some overheating, the Emerging Market equities have room to run.  Overall, per Callum Thomas: While last week saw some particularly turbulent price action within metals & tech (software slumping because of AI threats), we’re also seeing further progress the bull market broadening.  Rotation is currently the theme.   Please feel free to read the rest of the blog post:  #investing #stocks #bonds #options

Factually: (a) Stocks closed higher in January, and a positive January is a positive sign for the rest of the year.  (b) There is a rotation going on out of crypto into precious metals.  (c) There is also a rotation going on from growth/tech to value/cyclicals.  And (d) All signs point to a bullish rotation and a broadening-out of this bull market.  Overall, per Callum Thomas: We’ve managed to get off to a decent start to 2026 with the gains and bullish rotations of January. There are a few risk spots to keep tabs on (price action in crypto, tech/growth), but the relative strength in some of the more cyclical parts of the market raises the prospects for a bullish broadening out of this marketplace.  Please feel free to read the rest of the blog post:  #investing #stocks #bonds #options
