Leading And Lagging Sectors For November 11, 2024

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.

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.

<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.

Wall Street inched higher on Tuesday, with the Nasdaq 100 outperforming other major indices, while cyclical sectors linked to metals and industrial commodities saw strong gains, fueled by a surprise stimulus package <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/09/41003814/chinese-stocks-jump-as-central-bank-unveils-major-stimulus-to-spur-economy-a-step-in-the-right-direc">from China&#8217;s central bank.</a>
The People&#8217;s Bank of China (PBOC) unveiled a series of aggressive measures, including cuts to the reserve requirement ratio (RRR) for banks and a reduction in the seven-day repo rate, following a recent cut to the 14-day reverse repo rate. These moves are expected to inject roughly $140 billion (1 trillion yuan) into the banking system, providing banks with additional liquidity to boost lending.
Chinese equities skyrocketed on the news, with the iShares China Large-Cap ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FXI#NYSE">FXI</a>) soaring over 8%, marking its largest single-day gain since March 2022. 
Commodities followed suit with copper and silver climbing more than 3% each, while gold rose 0.7%, hitting record highs for the fourth consecutive session.
The Nasdaq 100 posted a 0.5% gain, leading U.S. indices, while the S&amp;P 500 remained nearly flat, hovering just shy of its all-time highs. 
The U.S. dollar weakened by 0.4% following a lower-than-expected September consumer confidence report from the Conference Board. This data has bolstered expectations for a potential 50-basis-point rate cut by the Federal Reserve in November.
Treasury yields fell on short-term maturities, while longer-dated yields held steady. Oil prices climbed 1.2%, though concerns about U.S. demand lingered due to the disappointing consumer confidence figures.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) slipped 0.2% failing to join the China-led rally across other risk assets.

Tech Stocks Rise, Materials Sector Rallies On China's Stimulus, Nvidia Surges: What's Driving Markets Tuesday?

Wall Street kicked off the week on a cautious note, with major indexes trading relatively flat as investors seek more clarity on the economic and political landscape.
A widely followed private sector survey by S&amp;P Global revealed that output growth slightly exceeded expectations in September, buoyed by stronger services activity. However, the report also signaled a reawakening of inflationary pressures, raising concerns about <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/broad-u-s-equity-etfs/24/09/40965082/feds-historic-dissenter-bowman-says-smaller-interest-rate-cut-was-justified-we-have-no">future monetary policy moves.</a>
The latest betting-implied odds from Polymarket show Kamala Harris at 51% to win the 2024 U.S. presidential election, surpassing former President Donald Trump, who has seen his consensus slips in recent weeks.
Among major assets, gold continues its upward momentum, setting new all-time highs as investors flock to safe-haven assets amid global uncertainty.
Meanwhile, natural gas prices spiked over 4%, hitting a three-month high early Monday. The rise follows the formation of another storm in the Gulf of Mexico, which threatens to further disrupt supply chains already impacted by Hurricane Francine.
The geopolitical situation in the Middle East remains tense, with Israel targeting new Hezbollah sites in Lebanon and the U.S. sending additional military troops to the region amid rising conflict. 
Despite the turmoil, oil prices fell by 2%, suggesting that supply fears may be easing for the moment. 
In the cryptocurrency space, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) eased by 0.5%, showing little movement.

US Stocks Stall, Gold Updates Record Highs, Tesla Rallies: What's Driving Markets Monday?

Wall Street is jittery hours before the highly anticipated Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, with all major indices posting modest losses by midday in New York. While a Federal Reserve rate cut is considered a done deal, the market remains divided on the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/09/40921827/fed-decision-is-here-5-things-investors-need-to-know-ahead-of-wednesdays-pivotal-in">magnitude of the cut. </a>
Current implied probabilities show a 60% chance of a 50-basis-point reduction, while a smaller 25-basis-point cut has lately gained traction, rising to 40% odds, as per CME FedWatch.
The growing expectation of a smaller cut has pushed Treasury yields higher across the curve, reflecting a shift in market sentiment.
Amid this uncertainty, the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX), often seen as the market&#8217;s fear gauge, spiked 8%, signaling heightened investor anxiety.
The U.S. dollar steadied, recovering from overnight losses. Commodities retreated, with oil prices down 0.9%, despite a fresh escalation of tensions in the Middle East, and silver slipping 1%. Gold remained flat.
In the cryptocurrency market, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) declined 1.5%, dipping below the $60,000 mark after a 3.6% rally on Tuesday.

Stocks Edge Lower As Fed Rate Decision Looms, Treasury Yields Rise As Odds Improve For Smaller Cut: What's Driving Markets Wednesday?

Wall Street experienced a slightly positive session Tuesday, supported by investor optimism as the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) kicked off its two-day meeting, expected to deliver the first interest rate cut in over <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/09/40878710/investors-bet-on-50-basis-point-rate-cut-wall-street-analysts-urge-caution-this-is-">four years on Wednesday.</a>
The session&#8217;s notable performers were small caps, with the Russell 2000 index surging about 1.3%, targeting its highest close since early August and outperforming larger-cap indices.
Among industries, solar, clean energy and regional banks led gains as traders eyed pockets of the markets that would benefit from lower interest rates.
On the macro front, August retail sales provided an upside surprise, growing by 0.1% month-over-month compared to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/24/09/40902634/retail-spending-remains-on-solid-footing-but-fed-must-weigh-rate-cuts-impact-on-workers-says-economi">the expected 0.2% decline</a>. This stronger-than-anticipated data slightly reduced the likelihood of a more aggressive 50-basis-point rate cut, with market-implied probabilities for such a move slipping from 67% to 63%, according to the CME FedWatch Tool.
Short-dated Treasury yields rose as expectations for a substantial rate cut moderated. Meanwhile, the dollar strengthened, gaining 0.2%. 
In the commodities market, gold retreated 0.7% from Monday&#8217;s record-high close. Oil prices increased by 1.3% following escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.
Reports indicate a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/specialty-etfs/24/09/40903888/simultaneous-pager-explosions-across-lebanon-leave-over-1-000-hezbollah-militants-wounded"> coordinated attack in Lebanon</a> led to thousands of pagers linked to Hezbollah militants being detonated, resulting in numerous casualties within the Iran-backed organization.
Additionally, Iran&#8217;s ambassador to Lebanon is reportedly injured, though the official responsibility for the attack remains unclaimed.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) jumped over 4%, buoyed by positive ETF inflows, signaling renewed investor interest in the digital asset space as interest rates shift.

Designed to provide broad exposure to the Healthcare - Broad segment of the equity market, the Invesco S&amp;P 500 Equal Weight Health Care ETF (ARCA:RSPH) is a passively managed exchange traded fund launched on 11/01/2006.
Passively managed ETFs are becoming increasingly popular with institutional as well as retail investors due to their low cost, transparency, flexibility and tax efficiency. They are excellent vehicles for long term investors.

The S&amp;P 500 Equal Weight Health Care Index equally weights stocks in the health care sector of the S&amp;P 500 Index.

<h2>Sector Exposure and Top Holdings</h2>

Should You Invest in the Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight Health Care ETF?

Investors showed little enthusiasm for the August jobs report, as the slower-than-expected hiring numbers deepened worries about <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/09/40748557/job-creation-falls-short-of-expectations-in-august-unemployment-rate-ticks-lower-">a softening labor market.</a>
The U.S. economy added 142,000 nonfarm jobs in August, up from July's 89,000 but falling short of the projected 160,000. The unemployment rate edged down by 0.1% to 4.3%, in line with expectations, while wages saw stronger-than-anticipated growth, rising 0.4% month-over-month.
On Friday, markets shifted sharply into risk-off mode, with all major indices dropping over 1% by midday trading in New York. 
The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) spiked over 17% to 23 points. The Nasdaq 100 led the decline, losing over 5% for the week, eyeing its worst performance since September 2022.
Semiconductors dragged down the tech-heavy index. The iShares Semiconductor ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NYSE">SOXX</a>) dropped nearly 5%, while Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) fell more than 4%. The chipmaker giant extended the weekly loss to 14%, on track for its steepest decline since October 2022.
Investors dumped equities and moved into cash as the U.S. dollar strengthened despite weaker-than-expected nonfarm payroll data.
In the bond market, short-term Treasury yields tumbled, bringing the yield curve back to a normal shape after two years of inversion. The two-year Treasury yield fell below the 10-year, signaling a shift in economic outlook.
Commodities took heavy losses across the board. Gold dropped 0.9%, silver plunged 3.1% and crude oil (WTI) slid 3%, reaching $66 per barrel, the lowest since May 2023.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) also dropped, losing over 3%, as investors steered clear of crypto assets amid a broad-based decline in risk appetite.

Stocks Tumble On Jobs Data, Nasdaq 100 Eyes Worst Week In 2 Years As Semiconductors Slump: What's Driving Markets Friday?

Signs of a cooling labor market last month pushed major U.S. stock averages lower on Thursday, ahead of the highly anticipated August jobs report set for release on Friday.
Private sector job creation came in at 99,000 for August, according to ADP data, marking the slowest pace of growth since January 2021 and missing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/09/40728795/private-employment-grows-by-99-000-in-august-sharply-misses-forecasts-of-140-000-">the forecast of 140,000.</a>
A stronger-than-expected services sector activity sentiment for August offered some relief to broader recession concerns, but an employment subindex bolstered hints of the ongoing cooling <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/09/40732534/services-sector-activity-expands-more-than-expected-in-august-but-employment-growth">in the labor market.</a>
The S&amp;P 500 dropped below the 4,500 support level for the first time since mid-August, extending weekly losses to 2.9%, and is on track for its worst week since mid-April.
Tech stocks managed to pare losses, with semiconductor shares holding steady. Blue-chip stocks underperformed, as the Dow Jones slid 0.8%, while small-cap stocks fell 0.6%.
A decision from OPEC+ to delay an October oil production increase by two months supported crude prices and further pressured already fragile investor sentiment. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude stopped its decline after suffering its worst two-day slump since October 2023.
Treasury yields dipped slightly, and the U.S. dollar softened. Meanwhile, gold edged higher by 0.6%.
Natural gas was Thursday's standout performer, with Henry Hub prices surging over 5%. The U.S. Energy Information Administration reported a natural gas storage injection of 13 billion cubic feet (Bcf) for the week ending Aug. 30, significantly below historical averages and expectations.
Sentiment in crypto assets worsened, with Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) tumbling 3% to $56,170.

S&P 500 Falls Below 5,500 Points On Cooling Jobs Data, Tesla Leads Tech Gains, Natural Gas Spikes: What's Driving Markets Thursday?

Wall Street trimmed early session gains on Wednesday after official government data downwardly revised nonfarm payrolls by 818,000 from previous estimates between <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/08/40489714/traders-raise-bets-on-aggressive-rate-cuts-as-us-economy-sees-818-000-jobs-revised-away-7-etfs-r">April 2023 and March 2024. </a>This adjustment suggests that the labor market&#8217;s strength was not as robust as investors had initially believed.
By midday trading in New York, major U.S. indices hovered slightly above the flatline, with both the S&amp;P 500 and the Nasdaq 100 adding mild gains after snapping an eight-day winning streak on Tuesday. Blue-chip stocks were flat, while small-cap stocks managed to rise by 0.6%.
Traders are now eagerly awaiting further insights on monetary policy from the minutes of the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee&#8217;s July meeting, scheduled for release at 2:00 p.m. ET.
Meanwhile, speculators have increased their expectations of a 50-basis-point rate cut in September, assigning a 32.5% probability to this scenario in response to the downward revisions of the annual nonfarm payrolls. Market participants are fully pricing in 100 basis points, equivalent to a full percentage point, in cuts by the end of the year.
The U.S. dollar is experiencing its fourth consecutive session of losses, while Treasury yields are dropping on the shorter end of the curve, with the policy-sensitive 2-year note seeing yields tumble by 6 basis points to 3.92%.
Gold is down slightly, off by 0.3%, while oil prices are down 1.2%, with West Texas Intermediate crude projected to close at its lowest levels since early February 2024.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) gained 1% but remains below the $60,000 mark.

Stocks Trim Gains On Slower Jobs Growth, Dollar Falls Ahead Of Fed Minutes; Target Rallies, Macy's Tumbles: What's Driving Markets Wednesday?

After eight consecutive positive sessions, Wall Street hit a pause. The S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq 100 indices ended Tuesday&#8217;s session with slight declines, halting their best winning streaks since May 2024 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/08/40450395/s-p-500-nasdaq-100-extend-8-session-winning-streak-as-wall-street-jitters-go-poof-mondays-key-st">and October 2023, respectively.</a>
The day was characterized by a lack of economic data, leading to a significant drop in trading volumes across major U.S. stock exchanges. 
Fed Governor Michelle Bowman delivered hawkish comments in the afternoon, stating that she still sees upside risks to inflation. This did little to improve an already negative session.
Bowman further emphasized that wage gains remain above the pace consistent with the Fed's inflation goal, and stressed the need to remain vigilant on the price-stability side of the Fed&#8217;s mandate while monitoring risks of a material weakening in the labor market.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Tuesday&#8217;s Major Drags On S&amp;P 500, Nasdaq 100</h3>
The S&amp;P 500, tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), closed down 0.2%. A similar drop was observed in the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 index, as tracked by the Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>).
Sector performance saw three sectors finishing in positive territory and eight in the red:
<ul>
<li>The Consumer Staples Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLP#NYSE">XLP</a>) rose 0.5% </li>
<li>Health Care Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLV#NYSE">XLV</a>) rose 0.4%</li>
<li>The Real Estate Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLRE#NYSE">XLRE</a>) edged up by 0.1%.</li>
</ul>
On the downside, energy stocks led the laggards as WTI oil prices fell below $74 per barrel, marking a two-week low. The Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NYSE">XLE</a>) dropped 2.6%.

Exxon Mobil Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>) was another significant negative contributor, falling 3.4% and shaving off 0.04 percentage points from the S&amp;P 500 performance.
