Jefferies analyst Steven DeSanctis upgraded the Materials sector to Market Weight from Underweight citing early signs of "green shoots" in China, a turn in the inventory cycle, and housing data that "does not look as bad as the stocks reflected in 2018." The analyst says Jefferies likes industries associated with housing and would be selective in Metals & Mining. The firm is Overweight Technology, Discretionary, Industrials and Energy.
