In this week’s episode
Stocks pushed to fresh highs after a powerful multi-week rally, but risk signals are starting to build beneath the surface. Rising crude oil, climbing 10-year yields, weak breadth, and increasingly bullish sentiment all suggest the market may be getting stretched, even as the overall trend remains positive.
Rather than turning bearish, the focus shifts to managing risk. Exposure is trimmed slightly while adding energy via XLE as a hedge, leveraging its inverse relationship to tech. The takeaway: stay invested, but get more selective and intentional as conditions become less forgiving.
