Consumer Staples: Follow the Defensive Momentum
Druck Drake
With QQQ down 9.1% over 21 sessions, I would follow the strength in everyday consumer spending rather than anticipate a recovery in AI financing. Branded staples and essential-goods retailers show positive monthly and quarterly momentum, supported by recurring demand and cash generation. There is no confirmed central-bank liquidity tailwind in the supplied evidence, so this is a defensive rotation, not a bet on Fed easing. Premium retail valuations remain a risk; abandon the thesis quickly if defensive relative strength breaks.
