Following the July 11 CPI indicating easing inflation, traders have increasingly shifted from Big Technology shares to small-cap and value stocks, with nearly $6 billion flowing into non-tech US ETFs versus $1.4 billion into tech ETFs. 

The continuation of this trend hinges on Fed Chair Jerome Powell signaling a September rate cut at his post-meeting press conference on Wednesday, following a notably disruptive tightening phase.
