🚨 SOMETHING VERY STRANGE IS HAPPENING IN THE STOCK MARKET.
The S&P 500 is near all time highs, but beneath the surface, a completely different market is forming.
Almost half of S&P 500 stocks now are moving differently from the overall market.
Goldman says this kind of divergence looks very similar to the Tech Bubble.
The biggest reason is market concentration. The 10 largest stocks now make up around 40% of the S&P 500, and many of them are riding the AI boom.
Because these companies are so large, they can keep pushing the entire index higher even when a large part of the market is struggling.
Meanwhile, the rest of the market is dealing with rising bond yields, $100+ oil, a stronger dollar and higher borrowing costs.
These pressures are hitting companies that are more sensitive to rates, energy costs and the broader economy.
So the S&P 500 being near record highs doesn't mean everything underneath is doing well.
A small group of massive companies is making the overall market look much stronger than many stocks actually are.
