Stock prices change when expectations change. The market expectations for interest rates have changed drastically over the past month. This is why we have seen such a tremendous rally in many stocks. The most sensitive to interest rate changes groups are the best performers since October lows – software, biotech, regional banks, biotech, etc.
The move in software and Internet stocks hasn’t been based on dreams and anticipations for a better future. Almost every major software company that reported earnings this quarter, crushed estimates and raised guidance. Most of them also gapped up and continued higher as a result. Just from last week, we saw that in ESTC, PATH, SNOW, ZS, CRWD, WDAY, etc. The software space has been extremely hot.
Small caps finally broke out above their 200-day moving average and all hell broke loose. Stocks with high short interest squeezed higher – UPST, AFRM, AAOI, COIN among many others. The speculative frenzy is on. FOMO is back in full force. I hope you have been able to participate properly.
