On this edition of StockCharts TV's Sector Spotlight, I take on the asset class and sector rotation as it played out last week. The relationship between stocks and bonds continues to be in favour for stocks while, at the sector level, Real Estate seems to be making an interesting move. I then take a quick look at the industries that make up this sector to find which ones to prefer and which ones are better avoided. Finally, I wrap up the show with a look at overseas markets, highlighting current strength of the US but also pointing to potential outsiders that are worth keeping an eye on.
