Jefferies says a peak in inflation and earnings downgrades will favor one class of stocks.

A slowdown could be on the horizon, and analysts are predicting more earnings downgrades. Throw in a possible peak in inflation, and that mix of factors could favor a certain category of stocks. Skyrocketing inflation has underpinned the U.S. Federal Reserve's hawkish tilt, said Jefferies in a July 29 research report. But a recent decline in commodity prices is bringing relief to the market on expectations of a peak in U.S. consumer prices, the bank said.

"With rate rises still set to slow economic growth, and shrinking PE dispersions, quality stocks will be back in favour," Jefferies added. In July, markets saw the first round of earnings downgrades, led by the United States and Asia. Most major sectors are now facing cuts in consumer services, utilities and tech hardware, Jefferies said.
