Russell 2000 rises, economic moderation: Top market trends
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) notched a record close while the S&P 500 (^GSPC) ended the day just below a record high in Monday's session. Yahoo Finance Reporter Josh Schafer joins Asking for a Trend to discuss his takeaways from the trading day. First, he points to the continued broadening of the market as a major trend. Energy (XLE), financials (XLF), and industrials (XLI) all led the market's rally while tech (XLP) came in just shy of the S&P 500 over the last five days. Next, the Russell 2000 (^RUT) hit its highest level since 2022. As more economic data points to cooling inflation, confidence grows in the potential for a September rate cut, giving small caps a boost. Finally, the economy is showing signs of overall moderation. As June's retail sales report is set to be released on Tuesday, Wall Street is expecting sales to fall about 0.2%. Schafer explains that if the print comes in line with expectations, it would serve as yet another data point showing that the economy is responding to higher interest rates. This would also give the Federal Reserve more confidence in initiating an interest rate cut.

Food sales may 'flirt with going negative': Analyst
BofA Securities Senior Consumer Goods Analyst Bryan Spillane joins Market Domination to give insight into the health of the consumer and find investment opportunities in consumer staples (XLP) during this economic cycle. Spillane lays out the current scenario with consumer behavior: "Elasticity hasn't really come back right yet, right? Volumes haven't come back yet. So we are seeing changes in consumer behavior, more economizing, and a lot of different ways. But with that pricing... volumes don't come back, we're going to start looking at, for some of these companies, organic sales begin to flirt with going negative and that's going to be a very big storyline as we move through the back part of this year."
