This isn’t a bull market — it’s a ‘duck’ market. Here’s why.

by Joseph Adinolfi

Since the beginning of the year, the S&P 500 SPX has experienced a maximum drawdown of 2% through Wednesday, compared with 9% for the average index constituent.

The reality is the stock market is acting a little more like a duck than a bull: calm on the surface but paddling like the dickens underneath”.

This discrepancy is even greater for the Nasdaq Composite COMP: the tech-heavy index has seen a maximum drawdown of just 3% this year, while the average Nasdaq stock has fallen 23% from peak to trough.

Roughly half of the issues in the S&P 500 are trading below their levels from January 2022, while roughly 10% of the individual stocks in the index have outperformed it over the past year.

Right now, breadth appears to be slowly improving. If this continues, the volatility gap between the indexes and their members should shrink.
