Markets have had a case of whiplash in January. Rising bond yields weighed on stocks earlier in the month. Then optimism spread in markets as Donald Trump officially returned to the White House. And now, the likes of JPMorgan’s CEO Jamie Dimon and billionaire investor Ray Dalio are warning that stock valuations have gotten too inflated. Not to mention DeepSake fears hammering markets and AI darling Nvidia. Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi chats with Carlyle Group head of research Jason Thomas as markets eye February. Thomas has been vocal that the Federal Reserve should be less restrictive in its policy after a series of rate hikes. Whether the Fed gets that message at its closely watched meeting this week is to be determined. Thomas is calling out concentration risk in the markets as Nvidia (NVDA), Meta (META), Amazon (AMZN), and Microsoft (MSFT) continue to dominate the weighting in the S&P 500. Is it time to head to the hills on these stocks this earnings season as each look to ramp up spending on AI projects? Thomas reveals his team’s latest thinking.
