The dominant market narrative is a <strong>violent rotation<\/strong> triggered by a surprise <strong>inflationary print<\/strong> that has sent Treasury yields climbing. This macro shift has forced a liquidation in <strong>high-multiple growth stocks<\/strong>, while capital flows into <strong>value-oriented sectors<\/strong> like energy and consumer staples. Investors are recalibrating portfolios in anticipation of a more aggressive <strong>Federal Reserve<\/strong> stance throughout the second quarter.<\/p>\n<p>Within the blue-chip index, <strong>energy and defensive stocks<\/strong> provided the only meaningful support. Chevron (<a href=\"\/stock\/CVX\">CVX<\/a>) was up <strong>1.88%<\/strong> to <strong>$211.15<\/strong> as oil prices surged. Consumer-facing giants also outperformed the broader trend; Coca-Cola (<a href=\"\/stock\/KO\">KO<\/a>) was up <strong>1.35%<\/strong> to <strong>$75.71<\/strong>, and Johnson &amp; Johnson (<a href=\"\/stock\/JNJ\">JNJ<\/a>) was up <strong>0.51%<\/strong> at <strong>$240.45<\/strong>. Other notable gainers included Walmart (<a href=\"\/stock\/WMT\">WMT<\/a>), up <strong>0.35%<\/strong> to <strong>$122.89<\/strong>, and Merck (<a href=\"\/stock\/MRK\">MRK<\/a>), which was up <strong>0.29%<\/strong> to <strong>$119.63<\/strong>, as traders sought refuge in <strong>stable cash flows<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The selling pressure was most acute in the <strong>technology and discretionary sectors<\/strong>. Amazon (<a href=\"\/stock\/AMZN\">AMZN<\/a>) was the day&#39;s biggest loser, down <strong>4.39%<\/strong> to <strong>$199.34<\/strong>. Healthcare giant UnitedHealth Group (<a href=\"\/stock\/UNH\">UNH<\/a>) also saw a sharp decline, down <strong>3.93%<\/strong> to <strong>$259.02<\/strong>. Significant losses were also recorded by Salesforce (<a href=\"\/stock\/CRM\">CRM<\/a>), down <strong>3.77%<\/strong> to <strong>$179.31<\/strong>, and Visa (<a href=\"\/stock\/V\">V<\/a>), which was down <strong>3.55%<\/strong> to <strong>$295.52<\/strong>. High-profile tech names like Nvidia (<a href=\"\/stock\/NVDA\">NVDA<\/a>) and Microsoft (<a href=\"\/stock\/MSFT\">MSFT<\/a>) were down <strong>2.71%<\/strong> and <strong>2.68%<\/strong> respectively, reflecting a broader <strong>de-risking sentiment<\/strong> across the board as yields spiked.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The US equity markets are displaying a
