Did you know icon

Did you know?

Consumer discretionary is one of the most interest-rate-sensitive equity sectors: when borrowing costs rise, consumers become more cautious about big-ticket purchases like cars, appliances, and holidays, putting pressure on the revenues of companies in this space. The sector includes some of the world's most recognisable brands — Amazon, Tesla, McDonald's, Nike, and Walt Disney — alongside a broad universe of retailers, homebuilders, and travel companies. Consumer discretionary stocks tend to outperform sharply in the early stages of economic recovery, as improving confidence and pent-up demand drive a rebound in spending.
