Supply: @topdowncharts
3. March Returns in Focus: US Giant Caps March efficiency in context… Up 3.6% on the month in March, however nonetheless down -4.9% YTD. This yr the winners have mainly been money and commodities, whereas fastened revenue was the largest loser.
Supply: Asset Class Returns
4. Cyclicals vs Defensives: Rising Markets Cyclicals vs Defensives relative efficiency line peaked 9 months earlier than the identical for the USA did. And troughed in October… bullish or bearish?

5. Company Bond Market: Company bond breadth will not be confirming the power within the S&P 500 at this stage. To be honest, a lot of the weak spot there’s about period vs credit score, however we will not ignore the impression of upper bond yields on the whole…

6. Homebuilders vs Mortgage Charges: Greater yields are hazardous…
Don’t underestimate the impression of upper bond yields. On my numbers, the indicative mortgage servicing price indicator has gone up 94% for the reason that low level (and that will trigger points for the broader development outlook).

7. Worth Targets: Analysts assume the have the largest upside.
Supply: FactSet

BONUS CHART >> received to incorporate a goody for the goodies who subscribed.
IPO Market Replace: As you would possibly guess, and as often occurs in instances of heightened and drops in valuations, the variety of IPOs pulled throughout March spiked to a document excessive.
After all it needs to be taken within the context of beforehand booming/effervescent IPO submitting exercise—which reached a document excessive earlier final yr.
I’ve beforehand highlighted these and related charts, and maybe the largest takeaway is that the surge IPO withdrawals represents a barometer of kinds of the general investor sentiment and liquidity backdrop.
Late 2020/early 2021 was maybe the zenith of the liquidity surge and investor euphoria. However now the liquidity tides are going out (e.g. Fed fee hike kick-off + QT quickly), and sentiment is beginning to shift…
