Sonders notes that a handful of large cap stocks have been leading the S&P 500 index higher, while the majority of stocks have been underperforming the index. While this so-called \u201cbreadth weakness\u201d occurred at or near stock market peaks of 1999 and 2000, Sonders notes that breadth is strengthening. The phrase \u201cMagnificent 7\u201d is near-meaningless since, as of mid-March, the Mag7 includes both the best performing stock in the S&P 500 (Nvidia) and the worst performing stock (Tesla). Sonders argues that there is no such thing as a \u201ctypical\u201d Fed interest rate cutting cycle, and that slower cutting cycles have tended to coincide alongside more bullish stock market action than fast cutting cycles.
