In this short clip from Live Trading Room (Feb 24, 2026), Samantha LaDuc breaks down the powerful rotation into energy and capital-intensive “halo trade” stocks like XLE, Exxon, and Chevron, explaining why these inflation-resistant sectors are outperforming the S&P 500.
She also flags Thomson Reuters (TRI) as a case study of an AI-driven obsolescence/valuation reset—showing how a stock in a powerful downtrend can still produce sharp “right-tail” reflex rallies as puts get monetized, even if the bigger trend remains shaky.
Samantha emphasizes that traders should expect sharp counter-trend rallies and VIX swings within a broader volatile market cycle, making risk management and sector rotation strategy critical right now.
