Investor advice: Remove 'emotional component,' don't trade on news

In today’s fast-paced media coverage of the Trump administration's policies, investors need to manage their emotional responses to the constant flow of information and shifts in the market (^DJI, ^IXIC, ^GSPC). Sincerus Advisory managing partner Dann Ryan joins Wealth, where he suggests dialing back on media consumption to avoid being overwhelmed. "Maybe if there's an article and you don't have time to read it, don't read the headline because there is an emotional component to that, that you're carrying around with you through the day," Ryan advises. Ryan also stresses the importance of staying grounded when making portfolio decisions and adjustments, encouraging investors to "turn off the notifications on your phone — which is a horrible way to consume content — and take some time to defy your world a little bit so that when you're making those decisions, you're really grounded in having the complete data set in front of you." Additionally, he acknowledges that market pullbacks are inevitable, but urges a long-term perspective. Ryan highlights sectors such as financials (XLF), utilities (XLU), and healthcare (XLV), while also reflecting on Big Tech's "mid-life crisis" the landscape is going through.

Utilities have had a great run. It's not over yet, strategist says.

One sector that has seen a boost from the AI trade is utilities. Power-hungry data centers are fueling optimism (and stock prices) for what was once considered a fairly quiet sector. However, according to Kineo Capital managing partner Jim Strugger, utilities have more than just AI going for them. "It's always been about the long end of the yield curve. Yields are lower and utilities are more attractive. We think that game's over, and we think the transition now is appreciating not just utilities, independent power producers, a lot of power energy-related companies. It's going to be more about scarcity going forward than necessarily about staring at the 10-year and judging whether or not you want to be in utilities." One stock Strugger likes is Vertiv (VRT). In the video above, he explains why and how to play the stock using options. To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Market Domination Overtime here.

January was a strong month for stocks (^GSPC, ^IXIC, ^DJI), but history suggests a rocky February ahead for equities.

He notes potential bearish signals, like rising tariffs and a spike in the volatility index (^VIX), and which sectors are facing the highest wave of volatility.

Utilities surge over AI demands. Is the sector too volatile?

Yahoo Finance host Julie Hyman joins Brad Smith on Wealth to discuss the recent surge in utility stocks (XLU), the sector leaning into volatility over rising demand for AI data centers and the energy needed to power them. Traditionally a stable industry, utilities are now facing shifting dynamics, exemplified by the growth in power generation and expansions into solar, wind, and nuclear. Vistra Corp.'s (VST) 300% rise and Constellation Energy's (CEG) nuclear reactor deal with Microsoft (MSFT) highlight this. Mizuho Americas managing director and senior analyst Anthony Crowdwell cautions investors, stating the firm has "struggled with valuation" for Constellation.

Big Tech's AI capex will be just as important as earnings results

Equity markets (^DJI, ^IXIC, ^GSPC) are focused in on the Big Tech earnings due out later today and the Federal Reserve's upcoming interest rate decision this afternoon. Microsoft (MSFT), Meta Platforms (META), Tesla (TSLA), and IBM (IBM) will release their fourth quarter results after the market close. Stuart Kaiser, head of US equity trading strategy at Citi, sits down in-studio on Catalysts to emphasize that the earnings results still matter, but explains the CEO commentary to come in earnings calls will be just as crucial "Most of the hyperscalers kind of already recently updated their guidance on CapEx spend. So, a lot of this may be actually what gets said in the press conference, and what is the CEO's kind of body language," Kaiser says. "How committed are they to that CapEx spend? How vital do they think that spending [is], and particularly, the really, really high-end Nvidia (NVDA) chips are to their development?" While generally positive on large-cap growth, Kaiser remains cautious due to the lack of clarity and information on DeepSeek's new AI model and its efficiency.

DeepSeek could put 'cold water' on utilities sector growth

Tech stocks began rebounding on Tuesday from a sell-off on Monday, fueled by the emergence of Chinese start-up DeepSeek's artificial intelligence (AI) model. The model raised questions about US companies' ability to compete, sending AI plays lower, including the utilities sector (XLU), which has thus far struggled to recover since the sell-off. Mizuho Americas managing director and senior analyst covering utilities Anthony Crowdell joins Market Domination with Julie Hyman and Josh Lipton to discuss his current read of the utilities sector. Before the sell-off, the utilities sector was gaining at an unprecedented level from increased demand due to AI tech's power-intensive needs. "When utilities typically do well, we do well because of fear and people looking for a safe haven," Crowdell explains. "This is a new [theme] for all of us in utility land, where we're excited about load growth, we're excited about the data center story, excited about earnings growth." The analyst explains that high valuations are part of the current problem with the utilities sector. "Maybe we were a little over our skis, especially on some of the [independent power producers] IPP valuations." He adds, "This is what happens when tourists invade a value space, and they just push these stocks up to huge valuations." Crowdell adds, "[The DeepSeek story] could put some cold water on the data center buildout, and it's clearly going to impact utilities' growth plans."

Why China's DeepSeek cast 'uncertainty' on utility stocks

Utility stocks (XLU) are rebounding Tuesday morning following yesterday's market downturn triggered by Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) startup DeepSeek. Jefferies managing director of US power, utilities, and clean energy research Paul Zimbardo joins Morning Brief to analyze the sector's outlook. Zimbardo cautions that energy names aren't out of the woods yet, describing the DeepSeek situation as "the first wrinkle" in the yearlong AI trade. He explains that investors' previous bullish stance on utilities stemmed from expectations that AI's power demands would drive "significantly higher power contracts." "Hopefully we can ... resume some of that upward trend, but this really does kind of cast some uncertainty into that thesis," he notes. For investors seeking opportunities in the sector, Zimbardo recommends two picks: PPL Corporation (PPL) for traditional utility exposure and Talen Energy Corporation (TLN) in the power company category.

How Trump's energy policy, tariffs could reshape global oil markets

Lipow Oil Associates President Andy Lipow joins Catalysts co-hosts Madison Mills and Seana Smith to share insights regarding the energy sector's outlook as the second Trump presidency begins, with the commander in chief holding onto his "Drill, Baby, Drill" mantra. According to Lipow, Big Oil producers are primarily focused on crude oil (CL=F, BZ=F) prices when making investment decisions. While the Trump administration's regulatory easing "makes more acreage available to these producers," companies must still weigh whether the "financial reward for investing hundreds of millions of dollars" is worth it. Lipow notes that domestic oil production is "expected" to reach new records in 2025. However, he emphasizes that "the oil market is actually looking at the Trump administration policies overseas," particularly regarding Russian, Venezuelan, and Iranian sanctions, which could significantly impact global oil supply and prices. Trump's Treasury Secretary nominee, Scott Bessent, stated he would be "100% on board" with raising sanctions on Russian oil if President Trump directed policy to end the Russia-Ukraine War. Watch the full video above further insights into Lipow's concerns about proposed 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico and what it means for oil markets. Also catch Stifel chief Washington policy strategist Brian Gardner speak to Yahoo Finance, who refers back to Trump's energy policy goals and cites one of the great economic "conundrums" the administration may face.

Trump executive orders: The administration's one 'great conundrum'

President Donald Trump signed nearly 200 executive orders and proclamations on his first day back in office, with actions covering a wide variety of policy areas from immigration to inflation and US energy. Stifel chief Washington policy strategist Brian Gardner joins Morning Brief to analyze these orders. On energy policy, Gardner explains that Trump's proposed executive order aligns with his "deregulatory agenda," noting market participants weren't "surprised." However, he questions Trump's "Drill, Baby, Drill" mantra surrounding oil (CL=F, BZ=F), asking: "Is it 'Will, Baby, Will,' In terms of are oil companies, energy companies going to do more exploration and production?" Gardner describes inflation as "the great conundrum" for Trump's platform. While Trump campaigned heavily on "the battle over inflation," highlighting voter "frustration over higher prices," Gardner points out that Trump's proposed tariffs could increase prices over time. He suggests that "when a policy runs into the problems that it's against what his base wants... you're going to see some flexibility." Gardner references Trump's position on TikTok as an example of this flexibility. For a deeper analysis of the TikTok situation and potential tariff impacts, watch Gardner's complete interview above.
