Money rarely leaves markets.

It rotates.

We’ve seen a lot of this lately.

Let’s visualize the August 2025 stock market rotation.

There’s been a big change in equity behavior in August. Growth stocks have come under pressure while defensive areas thrive.

Some will ascribe this bobbing and weaving to nervousness heading into Jackson Hole tomorrow…which is true.

However, I see much of what’s occurring as typical low-liquidity summertime weakness.

We’ve seen this pattern over and over again throughout the years.

Just 2 weeks ago I wrote how seasonal weakness and market rotations often appear in August and September. That’s the situation we’re facing.

And we’re likely in for more bumpiness in the weeks ahead.

That’s the bad news.

The better news is that cooldown periods are needed after monster rallies…and this presents a window of opportunity for those patiently waiting to buy the dip.
