S&P 500 stalls as investors retreat into defensive stocks
Original: The S&P 500 has gone nowhere since its Oct 6 record. Underneath, investors are hiding. Staples +1.17%, defensives beatin
The S&P 500 has barely moved since hitting a record on October 6, but market breadth is telling a different story. Staples, utilities and healthcare are leading, with defensives outperforming technology for a second straight week — a sign investors are rotating into safety while headline indices sit still.
Why now: Traders are reading the rotation into defensive sectors as a warning about market risk appetite despite record index levels.
