Sell S&P 500 equal-weight. The news says hiring is slowing and layoffs are spreading across large employers (Verizon, UPS, Amazon, Disney, Starbucks, Walmart, Microsoft).

If the labor market stays “stable,” it still supports a market where earnings growth is capped and cost discipline dominates—bad for equal-weight.
