Leading And Lagging Sectors For November 19, 2024

Risk sentiment edged higher on Monday, rebounding after two consecutive losing sessions and the worst week for the U.S. stock market since early September, as pressures from dollar <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s">and Treasury yields faded.</a>
All 11 sectors of the S&amp;P 500 traded in positive territory, with consumer discretionary stocks outperforming, thanks to a 7% surge in Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>). 
The electric vehicle maker's rally followed reports the incoming Donald Trump administration plans to prioritize a federal framework for fully autonomous vehicles. According to <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-11-17/trump-team-said-to-want-to-ease-us-rules-for-self-driving-cars">Bloomberg</a>, the Department of Transportation could soon place this framework at the top of its agenda.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 outperformed both the S&amp;P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average on Monday. Gains in commodities also stood out, as gold, crude oil natural gas prices all posted strong rebounds amid escalating geopolitical tensions between <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/24/11/42038707/gold-natural-gas-prices-rally-us-russia-tensions-escalate-over-ukraines-long-range-strikes">the U.S. and Russia. </a>
The U.S. dollar paused its recent rally after marking seven consecutive weeks of gains through Friday. Treasury yields, meanwhile, were flat, as the session lacked significant economic data or fresh comments from Federal Reserve officials to provide market direction.
The cryptocurrency market remained on fire, with Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) surging 1.5% past the $92,000 mark and setting the stage for a potential record-high close. Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) also advanced, rising 3% on the day.

Leading And Lagging Sectors For November 18, 2024

Risk aversion dominated Wall Street in the final session of the week, driving <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">sharp losses across major indices</a>.
Investors grappled with growing uncertainties surrounding the economic impacts of Donald Trump's policies and the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/interest-rates">Federal Reserve&#8217;s next moves.</a>
Fed Chair Jerome Powell's remarks from the previous day weighed heavily on risk assets. Powell signaled no need to lower rates, citing the economy's resilience and emphasizing the importance of fully finishing the inflation jobs. 
Boston Fed President Susan Collins added to the uncertainty on Friday, stating she needs to see additional data before deciding on further rate cuts at the Federal Reserve&#8217;s upcoming policy meeting.
Expectations for a 25-basis-point rate cut in December were significantly scaled back, with odds falling to 59%, down from 82% just a day earlier.
U.S. indices are poised to end the week in negative territory, as optimism fueled by Trump's win fizzled. Tech stocks were hit hardest, with the Nasdaq 100 plunging 2.5%, wiping out its post-election gains. 
Chipmakers tumbled across the board, with the iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>) reaching a 2-month low, as Applied Materials Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMAT#NASDAQ">AMAT</a>) released a disappointing outlook.
The surge in rate-cut uncertainty and broader economic concerns pushed the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) up by more than 17%, reflecting heightened market fear.
Treasury yields edged lower, indicating a flight to safe-haven bonds. The drop in yields supported the Japanese yen, which ended a four-day losing streak.
The U.S. dollar eased but remains on track for its seventh consecutive week of gains, marking its longest winning streak since September 2023.
Gold prices remained flat despite falling yields and a softer dollar, failing to act as a hedge in a turbulent session. Meanwhile, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) defied the risk-off sentiment, rising 2.5% to $89,600 in a surprising show of strength.

Signs of a waning Trump-led rally emerged Thursday as investors assessed the economic outlook and awaited potential signals on the interest-rate path from the upcoming Fed Chair Jerome Powell&#8216;s speech in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/jerome-powell">Dallas at 3 p.m. ET. </a>
Inflation data from the past two days provided mixed signals: consumer prices met expectations, while producer prices slightly exceeded forecasts, with both indicators showing a year-over-year uptick in October.
Despite this inflation data, markets remain confident the Fed will continue easing, pricing in an 80% likelihood of a December rate cut.
Wall Street&#8217;s major indices were in the red by midday, with the S&amp;P 500 down 0.3% and small-cap stocks lagging behind large-caps.
The U.S. dollar index ticked up 0.1%, even as Treasury yields declined. Bonds outperformed equities, with the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>) climbing 1.2%.
Gold edged 0.2% lower, while oil rose 0.2%. Meanwhile, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) saw its rally stall, dropping 1.8%.

Trump Rally Fades As Investors Await Powell's Remarks, Bitcoin Drops Below $90,000: What's Driving Markets Thursday?

Wall Street saw a modest rebound on Wednesday, spurred by an in-line inflation report that reinforced expectations for a December rate cut. The U.S. dollar continued to gain strength, buoyed by potential tariff tailwinds under <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump">the new Trump administration.</a>
Bitcoin again captured headlines as it surged past $93,000, lifting its market capitalization to $1.8 trillion and fueling a wave of enthusiasm across crypto markets, with Dogecoin up over 12%.
The Consumer Price Index met expectations in October, with the annual headline rate increasing to 2.6% and the core <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/11/41938762/october-inflation-rate-rises-to-2-6-as-expected-december-interest-rate-cut-remains-uncertain">rate steady at 3.3%. </a>
The report alleviated concerns over a potential rate pause in December, driving market odds for a 25-basis-point cut from 58% to 82%, as per the CME FedWatch tool. Treasury yields eased slightly in response to the report.
By midday in New York, all major U.S. equity indices were in slightly positive territory, although with the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 underperforming. Leading sectors included consumer discretionary and real estate, while utilities and health care lagged.
In political developments, U.S. Sen. John Thune (R-SD) was elected as the new majority leader in a secret ballot.
The U.S. dollar, tracked by the Invesco DB USD Index Bullish Fund ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UUP#NYSE">UUP</a>), hit its highest level since November 2023, marking a fresh one-year high.
Gold dipped 0.6%, on track for a fourth consecutive loss.

Leading And Lagging Sectors For November 12, 2024

The &#8220;Trump-related everything rally&#8221; reignited across markets on Monday, with heightened focus on last week's top performers like small caps, financials, Tesla Inc.

The Russell 2000 Index outperformed major large-cap indices, nearing a retest of its all-time high from November 2021.

Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) also dominated headlines, surpassing the $85,000 milestone and fueling widespread gains across other crypto assets.

Leading And Lagging Sectors For November 11, 2024

The S&amp;P 500 index surged past the 6,000-point milestone, setting fresh record highs, and small-cap stocks are poised for their best weekly performance since April 2024 as investor optimism surrounding the &#8220;Trump trade&#8221; continued to fuel a strong risk-on sentiment by the end of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">wild week in the market</a>. 
All major U.S. indices posted modest gains in midday trading, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average leading slightly, soaring beyond the 44,000-point mark. The blue-chip index is set for its best weekly performance in over a year.
Friday's rise in the S&amp;P 500 was powered by the utilities and real estate sectors, which had lagged post-election. Tech stocks took a breather following Thursday's rally.
Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) surged 7%, pushing its weekly gains beyond 27% and propelling its market cap past $1 trillion. 
This move now places every "Magnificent Seven" tech stock in the trillion-dollar club, with the group's combined market cap topping $17 trillion.
Treasury yields held steady, while the dollar strengthened in response to the Federal Reserve's Thursday 25-basis-point rate <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/11/41823887/powell-dismisses-talk-of-resignation-after-trump-victory-says-policy-is-still-res">cut to 4.5%-4.75%</a>.
Gold softened, eyeing its worst week since late May, as both silver and oil dropped over 2% on the day. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) edged up 0.8%, extending its weekly gains to over 11%, marking its best week since July.

Electric Utilities and Infrastructure&#8217;s adjusted segment income declined to&nbsp;$1.464 billion&nbsp;from $1.531 billion&nbsp;a year ago.&nbsp;

Lynn Good, Duke Energy chair and chief executive officer, said, &#8220;Our team&#8217;s commitment to our customers was unwavering as they worked around the clock to restore 5.5 million outages as quickly and safely as possible and rebuilt large portions of our system in a matter of days.&#8221;

Duke Energy Q3 EPS Falls Short On Higher Costs And Storm Impacts, Reaffirms FY24 Outlook

An &#8220;everything rally&#8221; powered Wall Street on Wednesday after the 2024 election results, with Donald Trump emerging as the clear presidential winner. The Republican Party reclaimed control of the Senate, while the House of Representatives leans Republican <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41778433/s-p-500-dow-hit-record-highs-after-trump-win-fear-index-drops-20">but remains undecided.</a>
The major U.S. equity indices – the S&amp;P 500, Dow Jones Industrial Average, and Nasdaq 100 – surged to record highs in early trading, as investor optimism grew on expectations of more favorable tax policies. 
The S&amp;P 500, Nasdaq, and Dow posted gains of 2.3%, 2.4%, and 3.3%, respectively.
However, the real standouts were small caps and bank stocks, with investors turning to domestic businesses and U.S. banks in anticipation of potential tariff protections and further financial deregulation. 
The Russell 2000 jumped 5.5%, marking its largest single-day increase in two years. 
Large-cap bank stocks climbed 6%, while regional banks tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P Regional Banking ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KRE#NYSE">KRE</a>) soared 13%—both seeing their biggest one-day gains since November 2020, when the first COVID-19 vaccine was announced.
Clean energy stocks were among the day's worst performers, with the Invesco Solar ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TAN#NYSE">TAN</a>) plunging 11% for its steepest drop since March 2020, as investors braced for potential rollbacks on green initiatives under the Trump administration.
In the foreign exchange market, the U.S. dollar initially rallied nearly 2% before paring gains to 1.4% as traders awaited a Federal Reserve interest rate cut on Thursday.
Treasury yields spiked as expectations rose for larger budget deficits under Republican fiscal policies and higher inflation due to potential tariffs. The 10-year Treasury yield climbed 14 basis points to 4.41%, reaching a four-month high.
Gold prices fell 2.8%, silver dropped over 4%, while natural gas rose 3.8%. Oil prices remained steady.
In the cryptocurrency market, risk appetite thrived, with Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) rising over 8% to reach a record high of $75,000. Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) gained 10%, and Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) surged 14%, the strongest performance among the top 10 cryptocurrencies.

Trump's Win Sends Indices To Record Highs; Financials, Small Caps Surge, Bitcoin Tops $75,000: What's Driving Markets Wednesday?

With Donald Trump clinching a second term in the 2024 U.S. presidential election, markets are turning their attention to his potential impact on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/11/41772701/trumps-historic-return-7-ways-his-second-term-could-impact-the-us-economy">the economy and markets. </a>
While past performance doesn't guarantee future results, it can still provide valuable insights for investors looking for clues about what to expect from the new administration.
Here's a detailed look at how the 11 S&amp;P 500 sectors fared during Trump's first term.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">S&amp;P 500 Sector Performance During Trump's First Term (November 2016- November 2020)</h1>
Although Trump wasn't sworn in as president until January 2017, financial markets began reacting to his potential policies immediately after his election.
Trump's first term, which spanned from Nov. 8, 2016 — the day he won against Hillary Clinton — to Nov. 3, 2020 – when he lost versus Joe Biden — brought varied performances across S&amp;P 500 sectors.
Technology and consumer discretionary sectors led the rally, while energy was the clear laggard, with the only negative return among sectors over those four years.
Tech stocks were buoyed by the spectacular rise of Magnificent Seven giants. An equally weighted basket of Microsoft Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NYSE">MSFT</a>), Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>), Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) and Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) delivered a remarkable 380% return from November 2016 to November 2020. That return is nearly double the performance of the Magnificent Seven during Biden&#8217;s term.

Regarding the energy sector's poor performance, that wasn't solely a result of the COVID-19 pandemic-driven oil price collapse.
Despite Trump's pro-fossil-fuel policies, energy stocks faced persistent headwinds throughout his term, even before 2020, with the global shift toward renewables putting continuous pressure on traditional oil and gas investments. 
Surprisingly to many, solar stocks — tracked by the Invesco Solar ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TAN#NYSE">TAN</a>) — were among the top-performing industries during Trump's first presidency, soaring by an impressive 267% between November 2016 and November 2020.
Below is a table and chart showing the performance of S&amp;P 500 sectors under Trump&#8217;s first term.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Financials Were Early Winners In Trump's First Term</h1>
In the first three months following Trump's 2016 election, financials stocks saw significant gains. 
The Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLF) rose by 17.2% between Nov. 8, 2016, and Jan. 10, 2017, outpacing all other sectors. The rally was driven by anticipation of deregulation and tax cuts, which boosted investor confidence in banks and other financial stocks.
Conversely, consumer staples and utilities — traditionally defensive sectors — were the weakest performers in that initial period, with losses of 2.39% and 2.3%, respectively.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Market Reaction To Trump's 2024 Victory: Financials And Industrials Lead Again</h1>
On November 6, 2024, the day after Trump's re-election was confirmed, market activity showed a familiar pattern with financials and industrials posting the strongest gains. 
Financials climbed by 5.6%, followed by energy and industrial, each more than 3.5%, suggesting renewed optimism for deregulation and potential infrastructure investment as investors previously had in the first three months following his election in 2016.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">What Could Be Similar — And What Might Change — in Trump's Second Term?</h1>
Trump's return to the White House could bring back some familiar market dynamics, but the economic and geopolitical landscape in 2024 is notably different from 2016. 
Investors should be prepared for a mix of potential tailwinds and headwinds that may shape sector performance in unique ways.
Trump's expected emphasis on tax cuts, deregulation and support for traditional energy sources could once again boost sectors like financials, industrials and consumer discretionary. Financial stocks, in particular, might benefit from any renewed push to ease regulatory restrictions, while industrials could get a lift from a possible infrastructure spending package.
As in his first term, Trump's focus on "America First" policies could support domestic manufacturing and sectors tied to infrastructure, including industrials and materials.
Trump's pro-fossil-fuel stance could give the energy sector some breathing room. Traditional energy companies may benefit if there's a shift in focus back toward oil and gas, though this will depend on global energy market dynamics.
Global trade dynamics have shifted significantly since Trump's first term, with ongoing tensions between the U.S. and China.
If Trump reintroduces tariffs on Chinese imports, it could impact tech and industrials sectors, which rely on international supply chains and components.
Last but not least, even if Trump policies seem to prioritize fossil fuels, the private sector&#8217;s commitment to renewables could still drive growth in solar and clean energy stocks.

How Did S&P 500 Stock Sectors Perform During Trump's First Term? Could This Time Be Different?

The S&amp;P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average surged to record levels on Wednesday after Donald Trump was elected as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump">the 47th U.S. president.</a>
In Congress, Republicans clinched a majority in the Senate, while the House race remains close. As of Wednesday morning&#8217;s tabulations, Republicans held 198 seats versus 180 for Democrats.
The S&amp;P 500 index, as tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), climbed 2% to 5,900 points, while the Dow soared over 3% to 43,500 points. The blue-chip index, monitored through the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIA#NYSE">DIA</a>), marked its biggest single-day gain since November 2022.
The financials and industrials sectors were the top performers, up 5.2% and 3%, respectively.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 witnessed smaller gains, up 1.8%, while small-cap stocks skyrocketed, with the Russell 2000 index spiking over 5%. 
The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX), often called the &#8220;fear gauge,&#8221; plummeted 22%, indicating waning investor concerns amid post-election optimism.
Investors are responding positively to the prospect of more lenient tax policies under the upcoming Trump administration, though inflation risks and potential shifts in Federal Reserve policy highlighted by economists seem to be largely overlooked by the market for now.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Economic Implications Of A Trump Presidency, Goldman Sachs Weighs In</h3>
&#8220;If Republicans secure a narrow House majority, this would likely enable a full extension of the 2017 tax cuts, set to expire in 2025, potentially with some reinstated business investment incentives,&#8221; wrote Jan Hatzius, Goldman Sachs&#8217; chief economist.
A Republican-controlled Congress may also drive increased federal spending, particularly on defense, Goldman Sachs indicated.
"We would expect Trump to impose additional tariffs averaging 20% on imports from China," Hatzius added, highlighting that this policy could provide a &#8220;one-time boost to core PCE inflation&#8221; and &#8220;a modest drag on GDP.&#8221;
Goldman Sachs projects that the incoming Trump administration would likely pursue a more relaxed approach to regulation, especially in energy, financial services, and labor. 
However, while antitrust oversight may soften somewhat, scrutiny of the tech sector is expected to persist.

Utility ETFs are a strong investment for stability due to steady demand, consistent revenue from long-term contracts, high dividends, low volatility, and protection during market downturns. Therefore, investors may consider investing in robust utility ETFs: Fidelity MSCI Utilities (FUTY), Vanguard Utilities Index Fund (VPU), and The Utilities Select Sector SPDR (XLU) for portfolio stability. Read more... Utilities provide essential services with steady demand across economic cycles. Utility ETFs offer portfolio stability, as they can pass inflation costs to consumers and typically provide low volatility and consistent returns, acting as a safeguard during downturns.
Therefore, investors may consider adding top utility ETFs like Fidelity MSCI Utilities Index ETF (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/FUTY/">FUTY</a>), Vanguard Utilities Index Fund ETF Shares (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/VPU/">VPU</a>), and The Utilities Select Sector SPDR Fund (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/XLU/">XLU</a>) for stability and protection.
The demand for utilities, especially clean energy, is set to surge in the coming decades. As essential service providers, utilities offer reliable revenue streams and consistently outperform other sectors with steady net inflows and strong returns. The sector is also benefiting from the growth of AI and cloud computing. The global utilities market is projected to grow at a <a href="https://www.researchandmarkets.com/report/utilities">CAGR of 6.4%</a>, reaching $8.83 trillion by 2028.
Essential services like electricity and water ensure steady demand. With economic growth projected at <a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/us/fed-lower-rates-dec-slow-pace-2025-inflation-risks-2024-11-20/">2.7% for 2024</a>, according to IEA, global electricity demand is set to grow by <a href="https://www.iea.org/news/global-electricity-demand-set-to-rise-strongly-this-year-and-next-reflecting-its-expanding-role-in-energy-systems-around-the-world">4% in 2025</a>, up from 2.5% in 2023. This marks one of the highest levels of power demand growth in decades, driven by economic expansion and rising data center needs.
