Episode 26 of The Weekly Sift Stack: CJ Gettelfinger, Lucas Nulsen, & Tyler Sherven break down the biggest stories moving markets. Wednesday marks an Earnings Extravaganza as Amazon, Google, Meta, and Microsoft drop Q1 reports - a staggering combined $12 trillion in market cap to be evaluated. We’re diving deep into Microsoft: why is it lagging in 2026? Despite "Software is Dead" AI fears, MSFT’s moat remains massive, fueled by 1.2 billion Excel power users and Azure’s cloud surge. Plus, we analyze the "World Stress Meter" following geopolitical spikes in Iran, cover the latest failed presidential assassination attempt, and discuss the record-breaking (but controversial) Michael Jackson biopic.

Looking at the sector flows today, we are seeing a very clear split in where capital is moving. It is not a straight risk-on or risk-off environment.
Here is the breakdown of the biggest ETF sector movers today:
The Risk Bid: iShares MSCI South Korea (EWY) is up 3.4%, and Semiconductors (SOXX) are continuing their momentum, up 2.5%.
The Defensive Hedge: Usually, when tech and emerging markets are running, utilities bleed. Not today. The Utilities Select Sector SPDR (XLU) is up 1.2%. Money is still actively locking in defensive yield.
The Pullback: Materials (XLB) are down 1.5% and Gold Miners (GDX) are taking the biggest hit, dropping 2.1%.
This type of barbell action (buying high-growth semis while simultaneously bidding up slow-growth utilities) usually points to institutions hedging their bets.
Are you guys currently rotating into defensive sectors like XLU, or continuing to ride the momentum in SOXX?

The latest SEC EDGAR filings are fully updated, and taking a look under the hood of quantitative hedge fund D.E. Shaw reveals a massive $166.3 billion portfolio spread across 3,287 positions.
Despite the broad diversification, their conviction in mega-cap tech is clear. The top five holdings make up over $14 billion in capital alone:
$NVDA: $3.8B (22.0M shares)
$MSFT: $3.0B
$TSLA: $2.7B
$AVGO: $2.4B
$AAPL: $2.3B
Further down the list at position #14, they are holding 21.7M shares of Intel ($INTC), valued at $958M. This is a particularly interesting allocation to watch. With the recent Stifel Nicolaus price target downgrade weighing on Intel's market narrative, it will be telling to see if D.E. Shaw holds the line or trims this position in Q2.
