In the US, equity investors appear to be more selective and fragile in their convictions, said Stephen Innes, managing partner of SPI Asset Management. The market is no longer responding uniformly to the idea of stocks seeing an uplift from weaker economic data, he said.

“Early gains faded, Nasdaq struggled to hold technical support, and leadership narrowed as defensives and value-oriented segments quietly outperformed growth-heavy indices.”
