BlockBeats News, June 16th, the easing of the Middle East tension has given investors a new reason to focus on other areas, rather than just AI trading, which has dominated the market narrative for most of this year.

Goldman Sachs Group trader Lee Coppersmith and others wrote in a report to clients that investors are beginning to realize that there may be some non-AI-related, undervalued cyclical stocks. With the AI frenzy fatigue setting in, investors are positioning themselves for a catch-up in such stocks. "As the war winds down, the market will overlook the upcoming inflation data, gradually phase out rate hike expectations, and we can turn back to betting on rate cuts."

Integrity Asset Management portfolio manager Joe Gilbert said, "This will be beneficial for small-cap companies, cyclical stocks, and bonds."
