Markets were on a rally in the first half of this year after a solid 2023. However, volatility has returned to Wall Street and all three major indexes have retreated from their record highs in the past two weeks.
Tech stocks, which drove the rally in the first half, have been particularly taking a hit. On Jul 24, all three major stock indexes dropped significantly, with the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq experiencing their biggest declines since 2022.
The S&amp;P 500 slid 2.31%, closing at 5,427.13 points, while the Nasdaq dropped 3.64% to finish at 17,342.41 points. The Dow Jones Industrial Average also tumbled 1.25%, ending the day at 39,853.87 points.
Over the past week, investors have been rotating out of tech stocks and rushing for small-cap and cyclical stocks as the Federal Reserve gears up to start its rate-cut cycle. Investors believe rate cuts would benefit small-cap and cyclical stocks and thus have been giving up tech stocks.
This has brought volatility back to Wall Street. The Federal Reserve has already reduced its rate cut projection from three to only one this year, which could further impact tech stocks. Hence, volatility could stay for a longer period.
Also, consumer sentiment has hit rock bottom. The Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index (MCSI) dropped to an eight-month low in July. The University of Michigan&#39;s preliminary consumer sentiment index showed that consumer sentiment came in at 66.0 in July, compared with June&#39;s final reading of 68.2.
<h3>Stocks to Watch</h3>
Given this situation, investors seeking steady income and capital preservation should consider dividend stocks. These companies have stable operations, regularly pay dividends and maintain profitability due to their reliable business models. In volatile markets, high-dividend stocks typically perform better than non-dividend stocks.
Four such stocks are Cintas Corporation (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ctas#NASDAQ">CTAS</a>), Citigroup Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/c#NYSE">C</a>), Community Financial System, Inc.
