Q: Hello:
First, athis point and post-election, do you think the markets have gotten ahead of themselves?
Second, markets are enjoying a post US election upswing and while most expect further interest rate cuts, why are utilities down in the past fewdays, for example CPX and FTS.
Thank you

Please also see this answer from today. Conditions are ripe for at least some continued gains. Some utilities, especially renewable companies, have seen weakness following the election, as Trump is seen as less favourable to the sector. Market interest rates also did move up post-election, even though central banks keep cutting, as the FED did today.
