Last week: Performance

The S&P 500 broke out to new highs, but it was defensives that led the way across the board. Gold was the best-performing asset class, while utilities, staples, and energy led on a sector basis.

Last week: The most important moves

First new high for the S&P 500 since August

And the first day of more 52-week highs in the index than lows in over a month.

All-time highs aren’t bearish. Since 1950, the S&P 500 has recorded 1,538 record closing highs. The number of those that were the last one for at least a year? 15. Or less than 1%.
