"the market remains poised, balancing optimism from expected tech sector growth with caution from broader economic signals."

"Healthcare was the best-performing S&P 500 sector over the past five trading sessions, gaining close to 6% while the broader index lost roughly 3%."

"These are not coincidental moves. They represent a deliberate rotation by large institutional investors out of high-multiple growth and into dividend-paying, cash-flow-positive businesses that hold up better in a high-rate, high-inflation environment."

"That overshadowed the concerns around Iran but now earnings season is largely over. We're not going to suddenly get any more good surprises out of earnings, which means that ‌market attention is now back to Iran."
