The S&P 500’s correction is over, with all 11 sectors gaining ground last week. Interest-rate-sensitive sectors drove the market rally, with real estate, financials, and consumer discretionary sectors having the biggest gains. The plunge in bond yields boosted the valuation multiples of technology stocks and interest-rate-sensitive sectors. The stock market seems to be following the classic seasonal year-end script, setting the stage for a Santa Claus rally.
