The S&P 500 opened the week with a low-volatility backdrop, but higher Treasury yields and a still-selective risk tone kept leadership concentrated in mega-cap growth and memory-linked technology. Institutional commentary points to a higher cost of capital, while AIBROKER quantitative evidence shows a narrow group of hardware names continuing to dominate the US Stock leaderboard.
