Tech Takes The Lead: Is This Sector Rotation Here To Stay?
Summary
Jack Kosar of Asbury Research discusses the market’s unusual sideways action and accelerated sector rotation, noting that average trend durations have collapsed to five days. He highlights technology’s dominance in asset flows and the VIX’s failure to reflect investor fear despite geopolitical and AI headlines. The conversation also covers the disconnect between strong S&P 500 performance and weak global markets, as well as the volatile, headline-driven nature of the energy sector.
