Amazon and UPS announced job losses amidst a weakening labor market. The Federal Reserve is expected to cut interest rates and make changes to its balance sheet.
Market concentration may not be as extreme on Wall Street as feared. The U.S. ranks fifth in market cap concentration globally. Concentration risks are more extreme in other countries. High concentration can impact returns and increase risk. The tech bubble burst concerns have not materialized yet. Diversification is key for balanced portfolios.
