The concentration of the top 10 holdings in the S&P 500 has reached a record high of 39%, according to recent data. This increase reflects a growing trend where a small number of stocks dominate the index. Notably, the 'Magnificent Eight' stocks, which include Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, Amazon, Meta, Tesla, Broadcom, and Google, now account for 35.9% of the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) and 51.8% of the Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ). In contrast, only 18% of S&P 500 stocks have shown gains this month, indicating a disparity in performance among the index's constituents. The current market breadth suggests that while a few leading stocks are performing well, the overall market may be struggling.
