Chart of the Day
Today’s chart of the day was shared in a research note from Bespoke. It’s a chart showing the relative strength of both Healthcare (Red) and Technology (Green), over the past year. Bespoke notes that the relative strength of Technology seems to have topped out in the past few days. At the same time, Healthcare has been showing newfound strength. This is interesting because, on a YTD basis, Technology is the best performing sector and Healthcare is the worst.
