GOLDMAN SACHS TRADING DESK VIEWS
We experienced a relief rally following the CPI report. Sentiment appears too low for a significant sell-off, and I'm inclined to buy into any weakness caused by tariffs early this week. Interest rates remain a challenge, and despite more favourable inflation, the underlying growth conditions, fiscal situation, and mechanical bond supply suggest that yield curves may remain steep and term premiums extended. This situation places a figurative limit on equity multiples, while the primary source of returns will need to come from cyclical earnings growth, leading to outperformance in cyclical over defensive stocks. Aside from the inauguration, this week is relatively quiet for both micro and macro events (with the exception of the BOJ), and my bias is to take advantage of weakness in industrials and financials. I see potential in emerging markets and the dollar, and the true test for the markets will arrive next week with the Mega Cap earnings reports—can we maintain our position in light of a stronger dollar, capital expenditure demands, and slower earnings growth?
