“Market participants expect one more rate hike from the Fed if inflation drops more than expected,” noted Huw Roberts, head of analytics at Quant Insight

Huw Roberts, head of analytics at Quant Insight, noted that while LVMH cited softer luxury demand trends in the United States and Europe during its April earnings call, the company — along with rival brands like Richemont and Hermes — have been among the strongest performers year-to-date in Europe, up around 25% compared to the broader index up 9%. Roberts said that makes it one of the most expensive “growth” segments in Europe.

"Market is still priced for an aggressive rate hike from the ECB (at the next meeting) and if you look at pretty much all comments coming from the ECB Governing Council, and from the Fed, the main message still seems to be inflation is the number one priority," said Huw Roberts, director of analytics at Quant Insight.

Amazon (AMZN) is the outlier on the other end and looks resilient relative to the macro environment," says Huw Roberts. Roberts weighs in on what growth drivers look for with big tech stocks and their earnings.
