Detailed Analysis

While a positive earnings backdrop and ample liquidity support equities, valuations are stretched, particularly in US mega-caps. Investors should seek value in Europe, equal-weighted indices, and sectors like financials, utilities, communication services, and consumer discretionary. "A positive backdrop for earnings, coupled with good macro liquidity, is positive for equity. However, valuations are stretched, particularly in US mega caps."
