Pension Fund Selling Impact: U.S. pension funds are expected to sell $20 billion in equities for month-end rebalancing, which could negatively affect the stock market despite strong returns in May, as stocks have outperformed bonds significantly.
Market Opportunities and Tariff Progress: The selling by pension funds may create buying opportunities for more flexible investors, especially with recent positive developments regarding tariffs that could boost confidence in the stock market.
