Last week, markets experienced a significant sector rotation as investors shifted away from mega-cap tech stocks and into small-cap and value stocks, even as TSMC reported record earnings that confirmed the continued strength of the AI boom. Geopolitical tensions escalated sharply following President Trump's announcement of 10% to 25% tariffs on several European allies in a bid to acquire Greenland, sparking fears of a massive $108 billion retaliatory trade war with the EU. On the domestic front, cooler-than-expected December inflation data suggested the Federal Reserve will likely hold interest rates steady until at least June, despite a cooling labor market. Investors are now focused on a heavy week of earnings from companies like Netflix and Intel, as well as a potential Supreme Court ruling that could invalidate the administration's current tariff structure.
