Quality on sharp selloffs

Morgan Stanley's Mike Wilson stays focused on quality leadership and would treat sharp selloffs as buying opportunities, with 7,100-7,200 seen as key S&P 500 support.

Morgan Stanley
And the market showed the same kind of reaction as always. While early-cycle leading stocks with relatively high operating leverage and financial leverage began to underperform, higher-quality, asset-light, service-oriented companies came to the fore. At this point, this rotation into quality names is now widely understood, and investor positioning has followed suit. Ironically, in the final stage, it is normal for the high-quality S&P 500 index and the weakening market breadth beneath its surface to converge as they move toward each other. The movement of the two meeting at the midpoint may already be beginning.translated from Japanese
