[PLUS] Weekly Market Notes & Breadth Trends

October 18, 2021

From the desk of Willie Delwiche.

Key Takeaway: Risk On/Risk Off Ratio resolving higher. Commodity strength and bond weakness will have some looking for a new playbook. Breadth set up to lead.

  • Paying attention to relative strength can help in two ways. It identifies leaders, to whom active investors can tilt toward, and laggards, from whom those same investors can tilt away. Up and down the size scale, Energy and Financials are leaders, while Utilities, Health Care and Consumer Staples are laggards.
  •  At the industry group level, mid-cap groups are seeing improving relative strength, while large-cap groups are seeing their relative strength deteriorate.
