The S & P 500 just notched a record high to declare its bull market status, but according to one money manager who helps oversee more than $1 trillion, there are a few names investors could focus on for the next leg of the cycle. "We're concerned about U.S. consumers, who are burdened by record levels of credit card debt at elevated interest rates." .SPX 1Y mountain S & P 500 The S & P 500 , which hit an all-time intraday peak on Friday, roared back at the end of 2023, notching a 24% gain for the year. Infrastructure stocks Malik believes that global infrastructure companies benefit from inelastic demand for the necessary services they provide, and are thus insulated from most recession risks. "Both dividend growth and global infrastructure stocks have historically weathered down markets relatively well," Malik said.

CNN —Investors who missed out on this year’s unexpected rally seem to be dipping their toes back into the US stock market. That suggests that investors who watched equities steadily climb higher this year are starting to take their cash off the sidelines and put it into the stock market, some investors say. That’s caused some investors to come down with a classic case of fear-of-missing-out, says Saira Malik, chief investment officer at Nuveen. The data-dependent central bank held rates steady on Wednesday and signaled that it could hike rates once more this year. Still, bond yields rose to their highest level since 2007 this week, as investors bet that the central bank will keep rates higher for longer.

Washington, DC CNN —US inflation has slowed steadily from its four-decade peak last June, and it’s expected to cool further thanks to easing car prices and rents. Despite the expected inflation drop, she said investors anticipate the Fed will keep interest rates steady and not cut them anytime soon. “It may take a little bit longer than expected for inflation to come down to 2%, and inflation being in a 2-3% range next year is reasonable,” she said.

SINGAPORE, July 20 (Reuters) - Asian stocks rose and sterling stumbled on Thursday as cooling UK inflation lifted risk appetite ahead of central bank meetings next week, while disappointing earnings results from Netflix and Tesla pushed U.S. futures lower. The Bank of England is due to meet in the first week of August but before that central bank meetings in Japan, Europe and the United States will likely grab investors' attention. Overnight, the Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 index rose modestly, with the blue-chip Dow registering its eighth straight day of gains. But futures fell in Asian trade, with E-mini futures for the S&P 500 0.15% lower and Nasdaq futures down 0.44%after earnings from streaming giant Netflix and EV maker Tesla. In commodities, Chicago wheat futures rose 1.4% to hit a three-week high on growing expectations that an attack on Ukrainian ports after Russia's withdrawal from a Black Sea export deal would have a longer-term impact on global supply.

☆ Elite investors and fund managers at the legendary Milken conference warn of a recession and credit crunch

Elite money managers overseeing trillions of dollars convened at the 2023 Milken Global Conference in Los Angeles this week. The consensus was clear: they think markets are mispositioned for a scenario where the central bank keeps rates higher for longer. "As our chief economist likes to say," Hunt said, "at higher rates, bodies will continue to float to the top over the course of the summer." And with yet another Fed rate hike officially in the books, financial conditions are only going to get tighter and more companies could be caught off-guard. On Wednesday, West Texas crude dropped more than 4.4%, the steep declines coming the same day as the Fed's rate hike.

While she's cautious on stocks, Malik says some struggling areas could be ready for a comeback. Nuveen, the asset management unit of financial planner TIAA, believes that even as a recession approaches, some of the market's recent losers are almost ready for a comeback. "Certain equity sectors that were among the hardest hit by rising rates over the past year may now be poised to benefit," Malik wrote. "We think better opportunities exist by taking on credit risk rather than duration risk," she said. "We see value across credit sectors, especially in high yield and loans, and would emphasize that we generally favor relatively higher quality segments within individual credit sectors."
