Magnificent 7 Stocks Trigger Concerns Of Market Overheat: Bubble Trouble?
Portfolio Pulse from Piero Cingari
Bank of America's Michael Hartnett compares the surge in the 'Magnificent Seven' U.S. tech stocks (MSFT, AAPL, GOOG/GOOGL, AMZN, META, NVDA, TSLA) to historical market bubbles, highlighting the role of central bank easing and technological innovation in inflating asset prices. The stocks have gained 140% in the past year, nearing historic bubble proportions. Concerns arise from market concentration and the potential impact of rising Treasury yields, which have historically signaled bubble bursts. The SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) and the Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF (RSP) are mentioned in relation to market breadth.
