Why Q1 beats are not 'good enough' to drive sector gains



#yahoofinance #inflation #cpi #april

shares (^GSPC, ^IXIC, ^DJI) experienced a significant surge following the release of the April Consumer Price Index (CPI) data, which showed signs of cooling inflation, boosting hopes for potential rate cuts. To share insight into sector outlooks amid the new data, Charles Schwab Senior capital Strategist Kevin Gordon joins The Morning Brief. Gordon emphasizes that there are two crucial aspects investors should understand. While investors attribute sector gains to the ongoing first quarter earnings season, Gordon considers the broader picture: “When you look at the data, and you look at the outperformance for companies relative to the S&P, or whatever benchmark, even when they’re beating earnings, there hasn’t been outperformance; you’ve actually seen an average decline.” Secondly, Gordon advises investors not to “put so much focus on the Fed cutting being necessarily a bullish or a bearish thing for the sector.” He suggests that what’s more important is the reason behind the Fed’s decision to cut rates, as that will have a more significant impact on sector dynamics.
