Stocks closed out the week in a full-throated test of uptrends after a week of historic volatility in interest rate markets. We discuss in detail the scale, nature, and implications of the move in interest rates, as well as some of the knock-on effects for equity markets. The rotation out of momentum and in to value has continued, with some of the most impressive gainers of recent years under harsh pressure in recent weeks. That’s going to cause a shake-up in terms of what stocks are included in momentum indices which are currently underperforming. We also take a deep dive into renewables, discussing some of the major stocks in the sector and their recent declines.
We also recap earnings results, discuss economic data here and abroad, make the case that the recent bond market move is a test for the FOMC, and more in this week’s Bespoke Report.

The US equity market closed the week at record highs and stock markets around the world have roared back from last week’s lows amidst lower bond prices and an onslaught of earnings.

In addition to earnings and equity prices, we review economic data in the US and around the world, the outlook for the world’s most important currency market, rotation within the commodities space, and more in this week’s Bespoke Report.

This week’s Bespoke Report newsletter is now available for subscribers. Here’s the intro:
Just when you thought you saw it all, along comes the saga of GameStop (GME). The stock’s rally, which actually has been going on for months but really went into orbit in the last few weeks, seems to make no fundamental sense. GME is basically the Blockbuster of video games. It sells physical versions of video games that most players are now buying digitally or streaming. None of this was news to anyone paying attention, and the stock had been a favorite of the short-selling community for years. If you were just coming to the eureka moment that the GME business model faced structural headwinds, you probably shouldn’t be in the investment business.
With such a stiff secular headwind howling in its face, GME’s surge has been completely written off as market manipulation and a concerted effort by the reddit community to take out the short-sellers. And when you see charts like this, it’s not fundamentals driving the stock. The trading in GME was originally written off as a bunch of ‘video-game playing yahoos’ on message boards blindly following each other, but in the story of GME that has emerged, there was a method to the madness. Fitting to GameStop’s motto, it was a “Power to the Players” moment, where we were reminded of the quote, “Within every lie, there is usually a hint of truth, and within every truth, there is always a hint of a lie.”
