2022 is when investors will finally return to value stocks. Really
CNN
Stop us if you've heard this before: Market strategists are predicting that 2022 will finally be the year when investors choose value stocks -— like banking, oil, consumer, industrial and healthcare companies — over Big Techs, such as Apple, Amazon and Facebook owner Meta.
It's been a common refrain among stock pickers for several years. But the so-called FAANGs, as well as Microsoft (MSFT), Tesla (TSLA) and Nvidia (NVDA), continue to dominate the market weighting of the S&P 500. So will investors really finally quit these leaders of the Nasdaq for cheaper bargain stocks?
For what it's worth, that appeared to be happening Monday. The Dow soared more than 700 points, or 2.1%, led by gains in Walgreens (WBA), Amgen (AMGN), American Express (AXP), Boeing (BA), Visa (V) and Coca-Cola (KO). But the Nasdaq was up by less than half that amount.

Global stock markets have largely shrugged off President Donald Trump’s renewed tariff campaign. In commodities markets, however, tariff threats have sent the price of copper soaring to all-time highs — signaling the potential for higher tariff-induced prices for a metal with critical uses across the US economy.

This past April, when President Donald Trump started flirting with the notion of firing Fed Chair Jerome Powell, stocks and the dollar tumbled because investors worried that even talking about such a move crossed a red line. You can’t even joke about that, the Wall Street intellectuals told us — the central bank’s independence is simply too important.
