Wall Street Bets on Pair Trade That Favors Consumer Over Housing
As investors in US stocks shift their attention from easing trade tensions to the threat of rising bond yields, two big Wall Street trading desks recommend taking advantage of both. At UBS Group AG and Goldman Sachs Group Inc., the trade is twofold: Buy consumer stocks, which will continue to outperform as the Trump administration ratchets down its tough talk on tariffs and presses retailers not to raise prices. And simultaneously, bet against interest-rate sensitive corners of the market, such as housing, as concerns over debt and the US federal deficit push Treasury yields higher.

Women's leadership highlighted in trading and technical analysis
in collaboration with The CMT Association, successfully hosted a closed-door event dubbed 'Trade with Insight: Women Leading the Way in Technical Analysis & Strategy', celebrating the pivotal role of women in financial markets, and exploring the importance of technical analysis in navigating today's volatile economic markets and trading environment. Held in Dubai, the event brought together expert analysts, finance professionals, and trading specialists, who shared their expert insights and engaged in interactive, thought leadership discussions rooted in technical analysis with focus on strategy, discipline, and analytical frameworks. A key highlight of the event was the expert presentations and discussions led by Razan Hilal, CMT and market analyst at and Yara Fanek, CFA, CMT, independent FX trader and technical strategist, who combined tangible market experience with practical technical analysis methodologies adapted to today's shifting economic landscape. Their discussions emphasized the growing relevance of technical analysis in identifying opportunities, managing volatility, and navigating uncertainty — while also spotlighting female leadership and continuous education in the trading space. 'Markets often move ahead of the headlines — what we see in price reflects sentiment, positioning, and expectations long before the news breaks', said Razan Hilal, CMT. She added: 'That's why technical analysis, combined with sound risk management, isn't just helpful — it's essential to making confident, well-timed decisions in today's complex environment.' Attendees benefited from such practical insights, with core topics including trader psychology, risk management practices, and the use of technical tools and indicators. Key themes discussed during the event comprised six topics, including Today's Market Realities, whereby attendees examined pressing questions around macro uncertainty and market sentiment, from currency safety to recession fears. Emotional mistakes like panic-selling, buying hype, and overexposure were also addressed, along with techniques to stay disciplined under pressure, under the Trader Pitfalls theme. Other topics featured Technical Tools in Action (the practical use of RSI, Fibonacci, and DMI to enhance market timing and decision-making), Intermarket Insights (how correlations between oil, gold, VIX, and indices can provide early signals in shifting environments), Risk Management & Mindset (Dow Theory, trend structure, and multi-timeframe analysis), and The CMT Edge (highlighting the value of the CMT designation in building confidence, structure, and long-term analytical success). 'Technical analysis isn't just about charts, it's about understanding behavior, recognizing patterns, and managing risk with discipline. The more you invest in continuous learning, the more confident and agile you become as a trader', added Yara Fanek, CFA, CMT, highlighting the importance of staying open to new information, and consistent in leveraging analytical tools. Aligned with strategy to empower women and part of the 'Women of StoneX' Initiative , the 'Trade with Insight' event not only highlighted the necessity of technical analysis in today's complex markets but also underlined the growing impact of women in driving knowledge, skill, strategy, and progress across all areas of finance and trading.
