Sector rotation and market performance

The S&P energy sector outperformed other S&P super sectors with a 3.5% gain while the Nasdaq 100 fell for the second consecutive week. Oil prices rose for seven straight weeks due to production cuts by OPEC and OPEC plus, resulting in a seismic sector rotation within the S&P. Bonds have not been a reliable stabilizer for portfolios, leading investors to seek higher yields in cash and money market funds.
