Market concentration among major sectors has reached levels reminiscent of the 2000 Dot-com bubble, with technology, telecom, and healthcare accounting for a record 45% of global equities as of July 2024. This marks a significant increase of approximately 10 percentage points over the past four years. Additionally, the MegaCap-8 stocks now constitute 30% of the S&P 500's market capitalization, approaching the all-time high of 34% recorded in June 2024. The utility sector has also shown notable performance, rising 19% in 2024, driven by lower interest rates and increased demand for new energy solutions, according to John Stoltzfus, Chief Investment Strategist at Oppenheimer Asset Management.
