Notable Observations and Trends:

  • L/252 days the top 4 performing composites have a risk-off/defensive 'tilt': (1) Utilities (2) Telecom (3) T-Bond (4) Precious Metals Miners (PMM).
  • L/252 and L/126 the Large Cap composite is almost unchanged at ~1% and ~2% respectively. 
  • L/252 the correlation clustermap (dendrogram) groups T-Bond, Bonds, Precious Metals (PM), and PMM as most closely correlated. Based on the data this grouping has offered the most diversification vs the remaining composites.
  • YTD L/71 days the top 3 performers are PMM, PM, and Utilities. PMM is trending strongly over the period gaining over 43%.
  • L/21 and L/10 days Healthcare, PMM, and real estate have been the strongest performers. 
  • Financials appear to be trending negatively over the L/71, L/21 and L/10 days. The composite has been a bottom 3 performer across timeframes. This is likely related to the Fed signaling the pace of interest rate increases should be slower than expected.
