📊 Defense and Energy Lead Flows

Good Morning Investors,

Selective areas of resilience are emerging. Biotech continues to show modest strength, offering a more defensive growth pocket within the space. Rising equipment demand and borrowing trends are providing some support for industrial names, while defense and drone related supply chains are gaining attention as geopolitical risks elevate spending expectations.

The broader setup remains fragile. Elevated commodity risk, geopolitical uncertainty, and shifting flows continue to weigh on overall sentiment. While options activity and sector specific momentum suggest selective optimism, the market remains highly reactive to headlines and macro developments.

Conditions favor a selective approach. Energy, materials, and certain thematic plays such as defense and biotech may continue to outperform, but broader performance is likely to remain pressured until volatility in commodities and geopolitical risk begins to stabilize.
