The Leader List - Tuesday, May 23

The market is rewarding the bulls and punishing the bears. So why am I still feeling cautious?

The Leader List

Below is the list of market leaders. Leadership is primarily based on momentum and relative strength.

The US Dollar is weak, and that has helped push the foreign ETFs into leadership.

The longer-term US yields are also weak, and that has helped the defensive, income-yielding ETFs such as PPH, XLU, XLP.

The overall market may be a bit wobbly at the moment, but it is still in bull mode because the high growth ETFs remain leaders such as MTUM, FFTY, SOXX.

 

 

Outlook
