What: Momentum stocks “collapsing” vs. Value stock rising – A move which is an equity earthquake
Why: US interest rates have shifted up by 20 bps to 35 bps in a few days – a highly unusual move considering that FOMC is next week and a minimum of 25 bps cut is fully priced in
Action: Creates negative bias in momentum big names (NASDAQ) – UNDERWEIGHT – while we like OVERWEIGHT value stocks (VLUE:BATS)
Comment:
Value stocks = Banks, Mining companies & Energy mainly
Momentum = Technology, Entertainment, consumer stables
Value is cheap – dirt cheap – and now the forceful move up in US interest rates has made “models” buy value and sell momentum as value stocks is similar to being long interest rates (through banks) while rising cost of capital “destroys” high duration assets discounted capital value. Elementary, Dr. Watson?
