Sector rotation based on the macro. Capital fleeing to asset classes with more favorable risk adjusted returns in a rising interest rate (with possible stagflation) environment.

Energy, Consumer Staples and Utilities from my research.

Wouldn't utilities (famous for their large dividend distributions) get creamed in a rising interest rate environment?

No question but utilities' distributions have to compete with higher treasury yields so that would be pushing downwards pressure on their prices.

Actually in a tight money environment I don't really think there is a place to hide. Bonds and stocks are both likely to decline across the board. Cash and gold might be the best refuge.
