The strategy team, led by Scott Chronert, suggested that investors should turn their attention to a broader range of stocks that have consistently been major drivers of earnings growth and share price increases for the S&P 500. They recommended focusing on the so-called "growth cluster," a group that includes not only large-cap tech stocks but also most companies benefiting from AI infrastructure development. Chronert stated that this group accounts for more than half of the S&P 500s total market capitalization and contributes nearly 48% of earnings. After driving the S&P 500 to record highs in recent years, the "Big Seven" tech index is projected to underperform the market by 2026 as investors favor sectors expected to benefit from massive AI capital expenditures.July 20th - According to the Guangzhou Railway Bureau, due to rainfall in parts of Hunan Province, and to ensure the safety of passenger train operations, train schedules will be continuously adjusted based on the affected area.

The Japanese economy is experiencing gradual wage growth, and inflation is expected to respond to recent increases in crude oil prices. Analysts at Wells Fargo believe the BoJ will take advantage of a tactical opportunity to further modify its policy settings in the fourth quarter of 2022, and are inclined toward a meeting in October. They added that this timeframe is optimal for a smooth policy adjustment, as monetary easing from the Federal Reserve (Fed) and other major central banks should alleviate yield pressure.
