Earnings growth still strong despite tariff concerns: Strategist

The latest market (^GSPC, ^IXIC, ^DJI) sell-off on Monday has stirred further uncertainty, but the focus should remain on long-term financial goals. Pence Capital Management CIO Dryden Pence joins Market Domination hosts Josh Lipton and Julie Hyman to provide insight into the current market landscape. "As I say many times, I'm more interested in bottom lines than I am in headlines, and while they can create volatility, they don't always create wealth," Pence says. He emphasizes that despite concerns about tariffs and geopolitical events, earnings growth remains strong. “If you think about it, earnings are still good. 75% of the companies are beating earnings. It looks like there’s only been a minor revision in what the earnings for the S&P 500 are for the entire year," Pence explains. Pence also points out that the US economy is largely driven by the service sector: “Four out of five jobs in the United States are really service related. Two thirds of the economy really doesn’t have much to do with international trade.” To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Market Domination here.

Europe's fiscal spending boost to be a 'seismic shift' for economy

The shift in market sentiment away from US stocks (^GSPC, ^IXIC, ^DJI) and toward international equities has been swift and significant. HSBC head of emerging markets and global equity strategist Alastair Pinder attributes this shift to a change in government responses to US trade policies, particularly the fiscal policies introduced in China and Europe. "I think really the big catalyst which has caused this shift out of the US and into international stocks is the way that governments are reacting to Trump's policies," Pinder tells Catalysts host Madison Mills. Pinder notes that European fiscal spending, particularly in Germany, has offset potential tariff-related headwinds, improving the region's growth outlook. Regarding Europe’s potential, he states, "That, for me, is a game changer. That is a seismic shift in Europe's economy, and that's why I think you have a bit more longevity now in the European equity market trade." Additionally, Pinder emphasizes the tariff' impacts on European stocks may be less severe than anticipated due to the region's varied exposure.

Carry trade unwind 'more important than anything,' even tariffs

As tariff uncertainty weighs on US stocks (^DJI, ^GSPC, ^IXIC), Great Hill Capital chairman and managing member Thomas Hayes sits down with Brad Smith and Madison Mills to share his take on the current sell-off. "This is a great opportunity. I mean, sentiment is basically flushed out," Hayes says, noting, "We're in the normal seasonal pattern of a post-election year, which means February is weak [and] early March is weak." He credits this weakness to policy uncertainty. Hayes tells Yahoo Finance, "The one thing that no one's talking about that I think is more important than anything else is not tariffs; it's actually the unwind of the carry trade, which fueled the most crowded trade in the last few years, which was Mag Seven." As this trade unwinds, it hits the "Magnificent Seven," made up of Nvidia (NVDA), Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL), Tesla (TSLA), Microsoft (MSFT), Amazon (AMZN), Meta (META), and Apple (AAPL). It also hits momentum stocks like Palantir (PLTR). Hayes says he'll be "watching that funding currency as it relates to the crowded trades in the Mag Seven, and be looking outside of the Mag Seven for opportunities in the US and be looking aggressively in international opportunities."

In his own words: Trump takes credit for stock market rises but casts aside blame for sell-off

President Donald Trump in recent days has dismissed fears of a recession and brushed aside the stock market sell-off, going so far as to say, “You can’t really watch the stock market." Over the last year, while President Joe Biden was in office, Trump took credit for stock market rallies as a vote of confidence in his electoral prospects. When the market dipped, he blamed Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.
