The View from 5th Avenue

The View at Two – 15 July 2020

Viva La Vaccine… Hope is in the air and stocks are in the green, as encouraging preliminary vaccine data from Moderna (MRNA +5.3%) and similar optimism around the AstraZeneca / Oxford vaccine (AZN +7.3%) have sparked belief that help is on the way. Value is the victor thus far (RTY above its 200-DMA), with dreams of a post-Covid world causing investors to take another look at the spaces most beaten down by the virus (Hotel/Leisure, Transports, Banks outperforming). The “weighting game” is to blame for US indices being held at bay, as the big boys of Tech (NYFANG -0.4%) act as a drag along with Semis (SOX -0.6%) amid the rotationary action and as China tensions continue to boil up.
