What happened

JPMorgan sees a buying opportunity in one unloved corner of the stock market — and investors are paid to wait for that upside.

Why it matters

Low-volatility stocks in the United States and Europe have done very poorly over the past few months, moving in the opposite direction of rising bond yields, said Mislav Matejka, the bank's head of global and European equity strategy.

Common ground

The companies are those with the lowest variation in price moves and are typically in sectors such as consumer staples, healthcare, utilities and insurance, as well as industrials, Matejka said in a note Tuesday.

Perspective signals

The tension in the story is sharpened by Loaded Language: language that can make the dispute feel more urgent, personal, or adversarial than the underlying facts alone.
