Last week, 437 stocks in the S&P 500 rose, yet the index closed down nearly 1%. The decline is attributed to the 'Magnificent Seven' (Mag 7) stocks, which peaked on July 10 and have since dropped approximately 12%, resulting in a collective loss of about $1.7 trillion in market value over two weeks. In contrast, small-cap stocks have gained over 10% during the same period, indicating a market rotation despite the downturn in the Mag 7. Analysts note that while the Mag 7's decline has significantly impacted sectors associated with these stocks, the broader market has continued to advance, suggesting a potential shift in market leadership and participation. This divergence in performance raises questions about the sustainability of the current market trends as new names emerge at the forefront of the rally.
"The damage to the popular Mag 7 stocks – and to those sectors containing these names – has been sizable. But amazingly, most of the rest of the stock market has advanced despite a collapse in the Bull market’s leadership." https://t.co/qzLFZd5zA1 https://t.co/lFvTGZUnGr
When has popping a faddish stock market bubble instantly led to a broad-based stock market rally? The Mag7 leadership crash looks like a catalyst for another leg higher in this Bull as stock market participation broadens.
