S&P 500 $SPX outperformed Global Stocks this week by the largest margin in 15 months...
Source: Barchart, Bloomberg
Only 30% of the SP500 stocks have outperformed the index year-to-date.
This is slightly higher than the 29% that occurred in 2023. Since 1990, a streak of 2 consecutive years with such a low percentage has happened only during the 2000 Dot-com bubble. By comparison, the historic median is 49% which typically implied healthy market breadth. The S&P 500 has rallied 12% year-to-date largely driven by just a few tech stocks. A few stocks are driving the entire market. Source: The Kobeissi Letter, Richard Bernstein Advisors
