US Rate-Cut Winners Index Falls 1.09% to 90.27

The rate-cut winners index sitting near lows even as oil rises suggests the market is pricing rate-cut beneficiaries through an inflation lens rather than a growth one. That the tariff-losers and financial indices fell alongside meme stocks points to a broad de-risking move rather than a sector-specific rotation. Whether oil's rise keeps pressuring rate-sensitive names, or whether the meme-stock fade was just a one-day unwind, is the open question.
