Why are healthcare stocks under such heavy selling?
Rising bond yields make defensive sectors less attractive, and investors are rotating into banks and cyclicals with higher near-term earnings sensitivity to rates.
Could healthcare stocks recover quickly?
A sharp drop in yields or a broader market selloff could flush money back into healthcare, but the current trend favors continued rotation unless macro conditions shift.
