📊 Will Labor Data Shift Leadership?

Good Morning Investors,

Cooling labor data and cautious Federal Reserve messaging added another layer of uncertainty, leaving rate expectations unsettled and reinforcing a wait and see tone among investors.

Dispersion remains high. Cannabis related names drew interest on regulatory optimism, while artificial intelligence continued to funnel returns into a narrow group of winners amid intense competition for talent and capital. Overall risk appetite has not vanished, but rotation and policy uncertainty mean smaller companies remain sensitive to sector specific flows. Software, cannabis, and chip exposed names are likely to see the largest swings as positioning adjusts.
