Large-caps finally pulled back with the S&P 500 SPDR falling around 5% in September. Small-caps held up better with a smaller decline. Overall, there was a rotation underway in September as money moved into banks, energy, airlines and defense. Money moved out of the high-beta ETFs (tech, ARKs), rate sensitive groups (REITs, Utes, Telecom) and the former leaders (XLV, IHI, PHO). A 5% decline is not really a correction. It is more of a pullback and this pullback could evolve into a correction, which means a multi-week decline or consolidation. The Composite Breadth Model remains bullish and yield spreads are low, but the Fed balance sheet contracted and Treasury yields broke out. This could be causing a rethink within the market and prices are adjusting accordingly.
