This episode offers an in-depth strategic outlook for sector performance in 2026 following the Federal Reserve's December 2025 interest rate cut. This monetary pivot, despite its cautious "hawkish cut" signaling, immediately triggered a risk-on rally, most notably confirming debt relief via a record high in the highly leveraged small-cap index. The analysis details how lower capital costs and discount rates mandate a rotation into sectors that are most sensitive to debt, specifically recommending overweights in Real Estate (REITs), Small-Caps/Industrials, and Utilities. Furthermore, the report explores sustained structural growth drivers like the AI buildout, which supports Technology and Utilities, and anticipates a cyclical recovery benefiting Financials through increased deal volume and lending. The overall conclusion is that the easing cycle will broaden the bull market beyond mega-cap technology and into high-beta, capital-intensive industries throughout 2026.
