Momentum Breadth Holds as Quant Rockets Cashes In
Market Environment
Stocks finished strong again as falling oil, slightly easier Treasury yields, and steady earnings helped keep buyers in control. Leadership stayed concentrated in semiconductors, storage, and infrastructure, but breadth was healthy enough to support the move.
The bigger question now is whether that broader participation can keep showing up after a strong run. For now, the tape still favors offense over defense.
Quant Rockets Momentum Model
Quant Rockets stayed firmly risk-on, with 49 positions up and 21 down. The portfolio finished up about 3% on an equal-weight basis, with strength concentrated in the same leadership groups driving the broader market.
