    Why equities are your 'best opportunity' to beat inflation

    The ADP National Employment Report showed private payroll growth slowed in May, signaling a cooling labor market ahead of Friday's jobs report. GDS Wealth Management chief investment officer Glen Smith joins Market Domination to discuss the print and what it means for the Federal Reserve's next interest rate decision. "I think the market is softening a bit as evidenced by the ten-year Treasury coming down, so I think there's going to be some opportunities here going forward in terms of volatility," Smith explains. As inflation continues to be a stressor, he recommends investing in equities as "the best opportunity to beat that inflation number." He points to financials and energy as two attractive sectors in which to invest. When it comes to financials, Smith calls JPMorgan Chase (JPM) the "best breed of bank," as the net interest margin is attractive and lending should pick up when rates fall. On the energy side, he highlights Halliburton (HAL) as a great investment opportunity despite its underperformance. He believes that investors should buy the dip as the company has strong financials and currently sits as one of the largest oil service providers in the world. As inflation continues to put pressure on the economy, Smith believes a rate cut could come in September. Until then, he believes "this is a great time to look at your portfolio. Make sure you're diversified. A lot of allocations have kind of gotten out of whack with [the] 'Magnificent Seven,' everything going on. Make sure you're not over-concentrated in any one sector or stock that might be a little bit speculative at this point."

    The market is saying there's no 'growth problem': Strategist

    Despite Thursday's weaker-than-expected GDP figure, which hinted at a slowing economy, Truist Co-Chief Investment Officer and Chief Market Strategist Keith Lerner joins Market Domination to explain why this number doesn't accurately reflect the economy's growth trajectory. Lerner argues that the GDP data was fine "underneath the hood," showing that consumers and businesses were still spending, and underlying demand remained robust. He notes, "the market's hanging in there relatively well," emphasizing that a deeper examination of the GDP components revealed "there's still solid economic growth." On the inflation front, Lerner acknowledges that he had anticipated a post-pandemic economic slowdown. However, even with solid growth, he remains optimistic that inflation can be brought down to the 2% target. Addressing concerns about stagflation, he states, "It's a risk, not our base case." Lerner points to the strong performance of the energy (XLE), financials (XLF), and industrials (XLI) sectors as evidence that "the market is telling you that we don't have a growth problem at this point." This market behavior reinforces his view that the underlying economic fundamentals remain robust, despite the weaker GDP reading.
