S&P 500’s 11 Sectors Broadly Higher; Real Estate, Consumer Discretionary Lead

The breadth of the rally matters more than the headline gain: all eleven sectors closing higher is a rare show of unanimity, and the fact that rate-sensitive real estate and consumer discretionary led while defensives like health care also participated suggests the move was driven by macro positioning rather than a single sector's story. Tech's modest advance and the split within energy and telecom hint that leadership is rotating toward economically sensitive corners of the index. Whether that broadening persists, or proves a one-session rotation, is the open question.
