The new high list on any given day has been unremarkable of late. So far in 2021, the most S&P 500 stocks making new highs on any given day has been 135 (27% of the index). The average for 2021 is closer to 50. Despite these lackluster daily readings more than half of the stocks in the S&P 500 have made new highs at some point in the past two weeks. Continued expansion in the number of stocks that have been making new highs reflects healthy broad market support.
