» Market Rotation: Volatility seems the most concentrated in software businesses, while market leadership is broadening toward other sectors.» Economic Resilience: Ending 2025 with 4% growth, the economy remains strong and supported by U.S. Federal Reserve rate cuts, unlike the 2000’s Tech Bubble.» Private Sector Strength: Core economic health remains steady and quietly strong when excluding volatile trade data.» CapEx Growth: Rising corporate investment in property and equipment points toward sustained productivity and industrial gains in the coming years.» Labor Stability: After hitting a floor in late 2025, we expect jobs growth to stabilize around 100,000 per month, which approximates the labor force growth. 

Look past the headlines• Today’s backdrop is dominated by geopolitical tension, shifting central bank leadership, and lingering inflation concerns.• For disciplined investors, the focus is on the structural drivers beneath the noise, and the U.S. economy continues to show diversified resilience despite elevated uncertainty.The labor market looks flat, but the details matter• Net new job growth has been close to zero since August 2024, yet the unemployment rate has remained remarkably steady.• The apparent disconnect is explained by a simultaneous cooling in labor force growth, which has moved in the same direction as job growth.Productivity is the more important story• With much of the federal government downsizing likely behind us, employment gains may be modest from here.• The bigger story is worker efficiency, as productivity can help support growth while moderating inflation pressures.Read the full commentary: https://www.etftrends.com/etf-strategist-content-hub/rotation-not-recession-a-broadening-market-emerges/AND Visit: http://sheltoncap.com/stringer to explore our approach.
