Fed Funds Rate,Tech Stocks,Global Market

Invesco chief global market strategist Kristina Hooper joins Catalysts to discuss her chart for Yahoo Finance's Chartbook highlights how tech stocks have...

"Tech stocks are viewed as a long-duration asset class because the earnings are farther out in the future, and so they're viewed as being more sensitive to interest rate changes. And so what we have here is not just the Nasdaq 100 , but the Fed funds rate, and then something called the proxy funds rate... So what we see here is that clearly, tech stocks are very sensitive to interest rate moves, but particularly so when P/E ratios are higher," Hooper explains.

How why is this chart important when you talk about the performance or the out performance made that we have seen of the NASDAQ 100 despite the fact and EE even in light of the fact that the Fed has kept rates at such an elevated rate?So let me start by saying that tech stocks are viewed as a long duration asset class because the earnings are farther out in the future, and so they're viewed as being more sensitive to interest rate changes.

But I don't think we're going to see the kind of sensitivity we saw when the PE ratio was over 100 so I think that's important to keep in mind when we think about what's gonna happen and who's going to benefit the most from rate cuts.I think where we're going to see the biggest moves we've already started to see them is in the cyclicals and the smaller caps because of what they're discounting in the future.
