A new report from $Goldman Sachs(GS.US$ shows a new trend in "smart money" investing in U.S. stocks: on the one hand, it's shorting consumer staples, and on the other, it's betting heavily on diet pills, which are replacing artificial intelligence (AI) as the "new favorite".

There seems to be a view that once inflation hits 2%, interest rates are going back down to historic lows.
However, markets are now pricing in permanently higher rates.
Markets are pricing that the Fed funds rate will bottom at 4% in 2025 and then start rising again.
The same can be seen in Europe where rates are expected to bottom at 3%.
Higher interest rates are the new normal.
The era of "free money" is over.

In that regard, and considering the stock’s weighting in major indices, it’s likely that most passive investors already have significant exposure to this name.
