The week in numbers

The strongest sector this week was Energy (XLE, +1.66%); the weakest was Health Care (XLV, -3.55%). 3 of 11 sectors finished the week higher.

Cyclical sectors (technology, consumer discretionary, industrials, financials) outpaced the defensives (in relative terms — the S&P 500 itself fell), a risk-on tilt.

The indices: S&P 500 -0.78%, Nasdaq-100 -0.57%, Dow Jones -1.55%, Russell 2000 -2.41%, S&P 500 Equal Weight -1.89%.

The cap-weighted S&P 500 beat the equal-weight version: the index leaned on its largest companies while the average stock lagged.

Big tech (Nasdaq-100) beat small caps (Russell 2000).
