Investing.com — In light of worse-than-expected recent economic data, particularly on the inflation side, the market is growing increasingly worried that Jerome Powell may switch to a more hawkish stance in his press conference this afternoon.
Given how much the market has front-footed a pivot since the beginning of the year, such a move could put this year's stock market gains in check, pressuring portfolios.
Amidst the high-risk environment, savvy investors are proactively taking profits from this year's gains and strategically shifting towards more defensive, dividend-paying stocks for the interim.
