In this brief market report, we look at the various asset classes, sectors, equity categories, ETFs, and stocks that moved the market higher and those that moved lower. The idea is to identify shifting trends and emerging market leadership.<\/p>\n
Identifying the pockets of strength and weakness allows us to see the direction of significant money flows and their origin.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The 10 worst performing ETFs from last week<\/h4>\n<\/p>\n\nIf Blockchain had such a good week, why was the Bitcoin ETF the biggest loser? I think it \u00a0has to do with the fundamentals of the blockchain companies as opposed to the speculative nature of Bitcoin. Over longer time frames, we see a high correlation between these two assets, but from week to week there can be lots of divergence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Last week the blockchain companies led the market \u00a0higher, bringing the NASDAQ and small caps along with them. Emerging Markets gave back some of their recent gains.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/span><\/div>\nNon-US market returns<\/h4>\n<\/p>\n\nThis chart shows last week’s returns for non-US markets. They have been leading the US so far this year. Hong Kong and Europe are doing well, while Brazil continues to struggle.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/span><\/div>\nEquity sector performance<\/h4>\n<\/p>\n\nTech had a great week, as did most of the market sectors. Utilities barely finished the week in the black, after a multi- month runup.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/span><\/p>\nZenInvestor.org<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Equity Factor Performance<\/h4>\n<\/p>\n\nThis chart shows the weekly performance of equity factors like Quality, Value, Low Volatility and so on. We can see that companies with high beta were in demand last week.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/span><\/div>\nGrowth vs. Value<\/h4>\n<\/p>\n\nWith Tech leading the way higher last week, growth outperformed value.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/span><\/div>\nCommodities<\/h4>\n<\/p>\n
This is one of those rare weeks where Silver and Gold diverge. Gold gave back a small amount of its strong gains, and Silver continued to shine.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/span><\/div>\nThe S&P Mag 7<\/h4>\n<\/p>\n\nHere is a closer look at the Mag 7. These seven stocks are still down on a YTD basis. But faith in the AI trade might be coming back.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But the big winner this week was META (META), while Tesla (TSLA) took a beating.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/span><\/p>\nZenInvestor.org<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
The Mag 7 dominance is a drag on performance this year.<\/h4>\n<\/p>\n\nAfter leading the market higher for the last two years, the Mag 7 are now a drag on the S&P 500 index on a year-to-date basis. The other 493 stocks in the S&P 500 are up an average of 2.1% YTD.\u00a0<\/p>\n
