Our team looks at a lot of research throughout each day. A few charts that caught our eye this week, and the way they fit the unfolding puzzle of evidence:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Brad:<\/strong> Earnings among US stocks have continued to decline in recent months, though projections for next year remain robust.<\/p>\n

Derek:<\/strong> Either way, US Stocks have proven to be superior to what an investor could have captured outside of the United States.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

John Luke:<\/strong>\u00a0 Disinflation appears to have been a transitory base-effect improvement, while underlying inflationary pressures look to be entrenched and broadening.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"Source: PGM Global as of 03.31.2024<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Brian:<\/strong> The good news is that service inflation is mostly wages, so wage growth may continue to outpace broader inflation.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong>Source: Federal Reserve as of 03.31.2024<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Beckham:<\/strong> the 10-year yield had retraced the entire November to March interest rate rally that was driven by the view that we\u2019d see up to 7 rates cuts.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong>Source: Aptus, Treasury as of 04.18.2024<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dave: <\/strong>This has been the cause of US bonds having one of their worst starts to the year they\u2019ve ever seen.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong>Source: Bianco as of 04.15.2024<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Brian: <\/strong>meanwhile, US equities have clearly ebbed and flowed in their returns over the years, but sticking with an allocation has compounded returns 100-fold the past ~40 years<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Brian: <\/strong>Sticking with equities, simply excluding the largest 10 stocks in the S&P 500 would have led to outperformance over the past 50+ years.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Brad: <\/strong>A similar effect has been seen in the outperformance of equal weight vs market weight over time, though the time frames of relative performance have varied.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0<\/strong>Source: JP Morgan as of 3.31.2024<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

John Luke: <\/strong>Fortunately for investors looking to be overweight equities and hedge through options rather than bonds, the cost of protecting a portfolio from falling (in this case more than 5%) was very cheap at the end of the quarter.<\/p>\n
