One of the running jokes among those of us who listen to earnings calls is the propensity of coverage analysts to lead their questions with something like \u201cnice quarter\u201d, regardless of whether the market is interpreting it as such.  If the S&P 500 (SPX<\/span>) and Nasdaq 100 (NDX<\/span>) indices were stocks, they would indeed merit a \u201cnice quarter\u201d comment.   But when we look at other US and global indices, that compliment should be dispensed more carefully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The chart below shows how well those two metrics compare with other North American peers.  Compared with the Russell 2000 (RTY<\/span>), Dow Jones Industrial Average (INDU<\/span>), and S&P TSX 60 (TSE60, SPTSX60), NDX\u2019s +7.8% and SPX\u2019s +3.9% compare very favorably with the roughly -2% to -4% losses shown by those other metrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It doesn\u2019t require too much imagination to figure out what led SPX higher last quarter.  It was technology and anything else related to artificial intelligence, including the normally defensive utilities sector<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Considering that the USA is the home of the most prominent AI-related companies (I\u2019m thinking of you, Nvidia (NVDA<\/span>), it is hardly surprising that the key US indices have outperformed their major European peers.\u00a0 Among them, only the UK\u2019s FTSE 100 Index (Z, UKX) is higher, perhaps buoyed by enthusiasm ahead of Thursday\u2019s Parliamentary elections.\u00a0 France\u2019s CAC 40 (CAC40, CAC) fell for precisely the opposite reason.\u00a0 Although we see a bit of a relief rally (~+1.5%) after the first round of their own elections indicated gridlock rather than a rout for opposition parties, the damage had already been done after early June\u2019s European Parliament elections.\u00a0 Those also impacted Germany\u2019s DAX<\/span> (DAX) and thus the entire Euro Stoxx 50 (ESTX50, SX5E)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The story out of Asia is quite different.  The Nikkei 225 (N225, NKY) and Australia\u2019s S&P\/ASX 200 (SPI, AS51) put in the same lackluster performances that we saw throughout much of the world this quarter.  That said, the N225 is up a blistering 18% in (weaker) local currency terms on a year-to-date basis, so a minor stumble can be forgiven.  Contrarily, Hong Kong\u2019s Hang Seng Index (HSI) got off to a stellar start this quarter before giving back much of the gains in recent weeks.  That said, even after last quarter\u2019s +7% rise, that index is only up just under +4% year-to-date even after today\u2019s 2% gain.  India\u2019s Nifty 50 Index (NIFTY) continued its string of advances, rising 7% after its own election-based jitters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Past performance is not indicative of future results<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is always useful to look back at the events of the past. While we all know that past performance does not indicate future results, it is informative to know what has been driving that performance and why.\u00a0 Can we continue to rely on megacap tech dominance?\u00a0 Certainly today\u2019s performance indicates that we can try, with SPX and NDX higher at midday, powered by gains in Apple (AAPL<\/span>), Amazon (AMZN<\/span>), Microsoft (MSFT<\/span>), and Tesla (TSLA<\/span>) despite declining stocks roughly doubling advancers.\u00a0 This is nothing new<\/a>, of course.\u00a0 The combination of hoped-for fresh money and \u201cdon\u2019t short a dull tape\u201d is enough to keep the usual winners afloat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep in mind that part about the dull tape for the next couple of days and into Friday.  In theory, this should be a somnolent holiday-shortened week.  In reality, we already see Treasury yields pushing higher and curve steepening despite a weaker-than-expected ISM Manufacturing report and sharply lower Prices Paid.  Remember also that we get Fed Minutes at 2pm EDT on Wednesday, after the stock market\u2019s early close that day, and the monthly Employment Report on Friday morning after Thursday\u2019s market closure.  It may be dull now, but the fireworks might not be limited this week to July 4th<\/sup>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
