Both stocks are part of the closely watched Dow Jones Transport Average, which was down 2.7% on the week and off 10% from its high for the year reached in February. Maley is recommending clients hold higher-than-typical cash levels because of concerns about a recession and because safer assets now have higher yields, while favoring energy and defense stocks.Overall, earnings have come in better than feared for the first quarter. With just over half of the S&P 500 having reported, earnings are on pace to have declined 1.9% for the first quarter from the year earlier period, according to Refinitiv. That is a smaller decline than the 5.
"It's hard to have a recession when consumers' incomes are rising, and they are spending more on both goods and services," Yardeni Research said in a note on Friday.
