Tech rally could only stretch markets so far: Strategist

Stock markets (^DJI, ^IXIC, ^GSPC) are showing signs of recovery following Big Tech's worst performance day of the year. To provide insight into these market dynamics, Bespoke Investment Group co-founder Paul Hickey joins Market Domination Overtime. Hickey highlights a significant trend: the S&P 500 Equal Weight Index (^SPXEW) has underperformed the standard S&P 500 (^GSPC) index over the past six months by "one of the widest margins on record." Addressing the tech-driven rally, Hickey says: "You can only get the rubber band so stretched before it either snaps or it just comes back." He suggests that the market pullback witnessed this week represents this "snapback" effect, a natural correction to continued tech dominance. In light of these dynamics, Hickey sees opportunities for investors in small-caps or smaller names within the S&P 500. "Sometimes you want to have an answer to everything, but... the last couple of days just don't have really any parallels to what we've seen in the past," Hickey tells Yahoo Finance.

Potential homebuyers due to see some relief in home prices

As mortgage rates begin to see some easing and housing inventory begins to recover, there may be some hope on the horizon for potential homebuyers. Zillow senior economist Orphe Divounguy joins Market Domination Overtime to give insight into the housing market, what potential homebuyers need to know, and the more affordable housing markets in the US. Divounguy elaborates on some of the good news: "We have a low 4.1% unemployment rate. The loosening in the labor market came from a big increase in labor supply as opposed to layoffs. Potential home buyers are basically seeing mortgage rates easing, and that could be helpful for the housing market going forward. You take that and you combine that with the fact that we have more inventory than we had a year ago, and those are positive signs ahead".
