Favor large-caps over small-caps
The Fed has a high hurdle for rate changes and likely won't act this year. Inflation will peak this summer then decline. Large caps offer quality and resilience amid ongoing volatility, while small caps are more exposed. Use pullbacks in large-cap stocks to add exposure, and the AI trade remains positive with earnings support.

Overweight technology sector for AI.
We recommend trimming energy stocks and commodities, taking profits from the Iran-related rally, and rebalancing into the technology sector. Technology is supported by AI tailwinds, strong earnings, and diversification within the sector. Investors should be slightly overweight tech but not excessively.

Diversification into real assets (metals) and defensive/cyclical equity sectors offers protection against volatility and inflation stickiness. LONG Defensives and Real Assets. Tech rally resumes, leaving diversified portfolios underperforming.
