What to Watch Today

Expect continued sector rotation driven by macroeconomic factors and corporate earnings. With the 10-Year Treasury Yield at 4.96%, investors are balancing growth expectations against rising rates, favoring sectors demonstrating strong recent momentum like Semiconductors and Technology. A significant shift in yield levels or disappointing earnings could quickly alter this dynamic.
Market Pulse

Heading into today’s open, the Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) closed yesterday at $747.46, up 0.87%, while the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) finished at $773.38, down 0.08%. The VIX currently sits at 14.19, within its recent 13.80-20.88 range, as investors assess the path of the 10-Year Treasury Yield which is at 4.96%.

Sector Spotlight

This week we’re leaning into Semiconductors (SMH) and Growth/Tech (QQQ). SMH shows strong momentum with a +11.1% gain over the last month, trading above its 50-day trend. QQQ also demonstrates positive momentum at +5.8% over one month – likewise exceeding the 50-day benchmark. We anticipate continued interest in these areas given their recent performance and current technical positioning.

Sector Scorecard

Last week’s sectors presented a mixed bag. Gold (GLD) led with a return of +1.49%, fulfilling its safe haven role, while Healthcare/Defensive (XLV) edged lower at -0.59%. Financials (XLF) underperformed, declining by -2.01%.

About TradeWise Club

TradeWise Club was born from a simple frustration: working professionals shouldn't have to choose between their careers and the market. Earnings move overnight, sectors rotate intraday, drawdowns happen in minutes. Reacting to that has traditionally meant sitting in front of a screen all day. Most people can't. Most who try end up losing more to bad timing than they ever gain from being "in the market."

TradeWise Club closes that gap. It's an automated, methodology-driven system that monitors the market continuously and generates daily stock recommendations grounded in a comprehensive multi-factor framework. For deployed capital, it executes trades that capture upside while protecting against the downside. The goal is simple: capture meaningful returns without requiring constant screen time.
