Stock market rotation is gradually turning defensive

Report by Belkin Report

While Utilities outperformance is being attributed to greater energy demands of AI and EVs, many “boring” electric utilities without obvious AI potential are up DD % over the last few months (AES, Dominion Energy, PSEG). Furthermore, Consumer Staples has an early outperform forecast in Michael Belkin's proprietary times series analysis model - another risk-off signal. The AI and Tech obsession obscures a bigger trend: many Tech stocks are declining. The CLOU cloud software ETF is down -15% since early Feb. Former leading new-era disruptors are top Sell recommendations (Uber, Meta, Netflix). Even Nvidia remains a Sell and its biggest risk is something nobody is talking about: its chips are made in Taiwan.
