LYB, KO

Morgan Stanley equity strategist Michael Wilson said he is shifting the firm's "Fresh Money Buy List" to be more defensive by adding Coca-Cola (KO) and removing LyondellBasell (LYB). At Coke, he expects an acceleration in EPS growth driven by stronger pricing power, volume growth and new products, said Wilson. In terms of the broader market, Wilson said new tariffs are not the only thing driving the market lower, pointing to full valuations, corporate profits turning lower and technical resistance as other factors ahead of "heavy Treasury issuance this month" that will add another headwind.
