Chart of the Day
Today’s Chart of the Day was shared on Twitter by Sheldon McIntyre (@hertcapital). It’s a ratio chart showing the performance of the Momentum Factor ETF, $MTUM versus the Value Factor ETF, $VLUE. Over the past few days, there has been a sharp rotation out of Momentum stocks and into Value stocks. Sheldon points out that this has been the largest three-day percentage drop for Momentum relative to Value since 2013. It’s important to note that Momentum has significantly outperformed Value for years now. However, if this ratio fails to bounce soon, it could signal the beginning of a more significant rotation away from Momentum and into Value. We take a closer look at this development in our most recent report “Factor Battle.”

It has been 31 trading days since the S&P made the last all-time high. Over that 31 trading day period, the S&P 500 has not touched 200-day intraday. If institutions believe the end is near, that will change in short order; has not yet. Day by Day. $SPX pic.twitter.com/JY877iEFzU

There's a bit of an unwind in the momentum vs. value trade going on here. Over the past 2 days, the momentum etf has underperformed the value ETF by 5.8%, the largest 2-day underperformance of momentum since their inception in 2013. $MTUM $VLUE pic.twitter.com/wcmZ9hzZEL

I know that bull markets often correct through sector rotation. It is just the velocity of the rotation that is a bit puzzling. From momentum to value. $VLUE $MTUM pic.twitter.com/JBLYgKetGl
