The last time tech stocks ran like this was 1996

Jason Goepfert
2020-06-25
The technology sector has rallied for 19 out of 22 days and is leading every other major sector year-to-date by more than 5%.

NOTE: Troy published a more in-depth summary of some of the factors we're watching - check it out here.

We just finished 120 trading sessions of 2020, and one pattern is clear. It's no surprise - tech rules the kingdom.

The Nasdaq Composite rallied 19 out of 22 days heading into Wednesday. That's a tie for the best streak in almost 25 years.

Nasdaq rallies 19 out of 22 days

It also notched an all-time high for good measure. It hasn't enjoyed this kind of a run since the 1990s. 

Year-to-date, the technology sector is beating every major sector by more than 5%. Its lead over energy is a whopping 49%, while the sector closest on its heels is consumer discretionary, and even that is lagging by 7%. 

Technology stocks beat every sector year to date

Going back to 1928, there haven't been too many years when tech has been such a winner, especially relative to sectors like industrials and financials.

Risk Disclosure: Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones’ financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Hypothetical Performance Disclosure: Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
