Group 1 - The stock market is experiencing a volatile rebound with a narrow breadth of gains, indicating an unhealthy rise, suggesting a "tentative entry" rather than a "full commitment" strategy for stock selection [1] - 95% of the components in the European benchmark index are above their 10-day moving average, a rare phenomenon that typically signifies that "easy upward space" has been exhausted [1] - U.S. President Donald Trump's softened tone on tariffs has helped the Stoxx 600 index reach its highest point since early April, while the S&P 500 recorded its best weekly performance of 2023 [1] Group 2 - Major stock indices have recovered over half of their declines since Trump's "liberation day" tariff announcement, largely due to short covering [3] - If volatility continues to ease, investors may further increase their stock exposure, although defensive positioning remains emphasized, particularly in healthcare stocks [3] - The market structure has improved recently, with hedge funds and some long-term investors returning to the buying side after a sharp sell-off due to rapid tariff increases by the U.S. [3] Group 3 - Hedge funds are currently more inclined to participate in the stock market rebound, but the "recession alert" has not been lifted, indicating that recent purchases are primarily for short covering rather than strong bullish sentiment [5] - Trend-following CTAs, risk-parity, and volatility control funds have significantly reduced their stock exposure, with expectations of asset reallocation to support the rebound, though this support is limited by the need for lower volatility and market stabilization [5] Group 4 - Recent client feedback indicates a hesitance to "follow new news," with buying behavior resembling "trial balloons" rather than a genuine trend reversal [7] - Market sentiment has shifted from panic risks to chronic risks, making it difficult to find "consensus trades" [7] - Two potential themes are emerging: capital is flowing out of U.S. stocks into other international markets, and there is a search for severely beaten-down stocks with the highest potential returns [7] Group 5 - JPMorgan's market intelligence team maintains a constructive view on international equities tactically, noting that while risks have receded and the holding environment is relatively favorable, the market has not yet emerged from its troubles [8]
