With the S&P 500 breaching 4,000 for the first time last week, US stocks wrapped up a dramatic yet hopeful first quarter of the year. First, the market saw the extraordinary rise and precipitous fall of GameStop and other Reddit meme stocks. Then came the Treasury yield spike that fast-tracked the market rotation that has put everything from high-growth stocks, Cathie Wood's Ark ETFs, and special-purpose acquisition companies under pressure.
Main Idea: RBC Capital Markets updated its list of 30 top global stock picks for the second quarter of 2021, shifting toward names tied to reopening and inflation while adding Canadian Pacific Railway and other cyclical stocks.
Key Points:
RBC’s stock picks may add to market swings, and higher inflation could raise costs for households and small businesses.
The list favors rail, utility, and consumer names that could support jobs, service, and steadier returns for investors if reopening continues.
