SaltWire's Atlantic regional weather forecast for October 19, 2023 | SaltWireNEW YORK - High noon is approaching for the market's biggest stocks, as pressure grows on richly valued technology and growth companies to deliver robust earnings at a time when sky-high bond yields threaten to dull the allure of equities.
At the same time, Treasury yields at 16-year highs are providing investment competition to stocks. With U.S. government bonds now offering risk-free yields of around 5% or more, investors may be less forgiving of companies which are unable to deliver strong results. The Wells Fargo Investment Institute in June downgraded its rating on the information technology sector -- which includes Apple, Microsoft and Nvidia -- to"neutral" from"favorable.”
Complicating the outlook is the relentless climb in interest rates and Treasury yields, which has been driven by a mix of Federal Reserve hawkishness in the face of a strong economy and worries over the U.S. fiscal picture. More than a third of fund managers named"long big tech" as the most crowded trade, according to BofA Global Research's monthly survey published this week.
