The S&P 500 is starting to see some selling pressure as a result of rising interest rates — and there could be more to come.

In today’s ‘Closing Bell’ video, I have a peek beneath the surface at a few important sectors that are seeing stiff selling pressure.

Banks, homebuilders, high-yield corporate debt, mortgage-backed securities, and investment-grade corporate bonds are all nosediving, with a few of them skidding faster than they have in many years.

But gold has been holding up well, and a few of the stragglers in the gold sector have started to catch a bid.

Gold’s rise despite the jump across the board in the US yield curve and the leap in the US dollar is quite impressive and is possibly a hint that further rises are around the corner.

I finish up today’s ‘Closing Bell’ video by showing you a few of the beaten-up gold stocks that look like they have turned a corner.

Check out my analysis in the ‘Closing Bell’ video below:

Until next week,

2 Stock Ideas for the Next 12 months
By Callum Newman

One sector I think could be prospective for alpha in the next 12 months is shares related to the property market. I’ll put a caveat on this: I thought this back in 2023 too, and it hasn’t worked so far. Probably a timing issue. Rate cuts are bang in sight for the market now. Here’s some ideas…
Gold bulls: Don’t forget this
By Callum Newman

Long term there’s still so much to like about the Aussie gold sector. Exploration and development are going to surge here. My last report for my advisory Australian Small Cap Investigator was on a cracking gold story in the junior resource space. This is not just dependent on a rising gold price. It’s an exploration campaign that could blow the socks off the market if it comes off. And if it doesn’t? Well, that’s factored into the plan too.
