Joel Elconin - Trading the Moment in a Goldilocks Market: Inflation Risks, Fed Cuts, and Market Rotation

In today’s KE Report Daily Editorial (Friday, August 29), we welcome back Joel Elconin, co-host of the PreMarket Prep Show and founder of the Stock Trader Network.

Joel breaks down the current market environment, where:

• Broad indexes continue a “melt-up” rally, with leadership rotating between mega-cap tech, value, and small caps.
  
  


• Interest rate expectations remain the key driver, fueling strength in rate-sensitive sectors like small caps and biotech.
  
  


• Earnings season takeaways, including reactions to Nvidia, Intel, and big tech guidance.
  
  


• The impact of government investments in equities and what it could mean for long-term competitiveness.
  
  


• Why small caps and financials could still have significant room to run if rate cuts arrive in September.
  
  

Joel also shares his candid take on risk management in this environment - why cash is “trash,” how to think about hedging, and why sometimes investors simply need to “trade for the moment.”
