US Equity Sector Rotation Chartbook, May 2026 - The Unholy Alliance

The May 2026 edition of the US equity sector chartbook can be found here, with accompanying portfolio statistics here

I have made quite a few changes to the chartbook since the last time I ran it. I have changed my data provider from Investing.com to SheetsFinance, which makes it much easier to update the spreadsheets feeding the Python scripts that generate this, and any other market-data chartbooks, that I am using. The data now reflect one-year trailing total returns with daily observations—approximately 250 trading days per year. I have also added a cross-correlation rotation matrix, which tracks shifts in sector correlations with IVV, along with chart plots of rolling correlation Z-scores.

Equity Sector Rotation Chartbook, February 2026 - The Tangible Economy Strikes Back

The SaaSpocalypse is upon us and with it comes the inevitable soul searching among investors who thought that a concentrated bet on US/global tech was a never-losing source of excess returns relative to the wider market. This looks to me like a long overdue sell-off in search of a narrative rather than the other way round, but it’s a pretty compelling narrative, all the same.

Equity Sector Rotation Chartbook, October 2025 - Nirvana

Equity investors are currently in the enviable position of having their cake and eating it too. What if I told you that you could outperform the S&P 500 by investing in market-leading U.S. technology firms—and enhance that outperformance further by adding non-U.S. equities? Sounds too good to be true? Well, yes and no.

The siren song of dollar weakness

A weaker dollar seems to be the answer to everyone’s prayers at the moment—or more specifically, investors want exposure to the exceptionalism of U.S. capital markets without the currency exposure that comes with it. From the BIS, via FXStreet:

Many investors still want to remain invested in US equities (belief in US exceptionalism is alive and well!), but at the same time, they see growing risks for the US dollar, not least due to the US government’s attacks on the Federal Reserve. A significant depreciation of the dollar could reduce the returns on the actual equity investment or even wipe them out entirely. So what is the solution? Hedging against dollar weakness. Ultimately, these hedges are effectively bets on a weaker US currency and, if widely adopted, create selling pressure on the dollar."
