How to read sector rotation
Sector leadership tells you where money is rotating, which matters more than a single index print. Broad breadth with two or three sectors leading is a healthy trend; a rising index with negative breadth is usually narrow, index-heavyweight driven and fragile. Stocks closing in the top quarter of their day range show buyers in control into the close, and heavy volume confirms the move.
Key takeaways
- Leading sector: Infra (+2.65%) — higher at the time of writing
- Lagging sector: IT (-3.32%) — lower at the time of writing
- Breadth: 15 up / 35 down
