Big Tech continues to dominate much of investor focus on Wall Street as it continues to perform well, with Evercore ISI Research claiming Nvidia (NVDA) could become 10-15% of the weight of the S&P 500 (^GSPC).
RBC Capital Markets Equity Derivatives Strategist Amy Wu Silverman joins Catalysts to give insight why investors continue to focus on a couple of names in big tech rather than broaden out to different sectors.
"I really feel bad at some point for these investors because I think the investors overall have really wanted to do a trade that's essentially a bet on the broadening out of the market, so they want to look at energy, they want to look at these other sectors. But then at the same time, there's this this problematic benchmark FOMO," Wu Silverman explains. "And that's sort of what I started to call it, which is just when you have a few names doing all the heavy work for the indices and you're not over-allocated to it, then you're dragging your benchmark."
