Weekly Market Recap – Week Ending Oct 09, 2026<\/span><\/h3>\n
\n

U.S. equity markets were mixed this week, with broader gains across value, defensive, and cyclical sectors offset by weakness in technology and the NASDAQ 100. The S&P 500 ETF (SPYM<\/strong>) gained 0.99%, while the NASDAQ 100 ETF (QQQM<\/strong>) declined 0.52%, pressured by a 1.86% pullback in Technology (XLK<\/strong>). Energy (XLE<\/strong>) led the ETF group with a strong 5.05% gain, followed by Consumer Staples (XLP<\/strong>), Utilities (XLU<\/strong>), Health Care (XLV<\/strong>), Financials (XLF<\/strong>), Real Estate (XLRE<\/strong>), Consumer Discretionary (XLY<\/strong>), Value (VTV<\/strong>), Materials (XLB<\/strong>), and Communication Services (XLC<\/strong>). Growth (VUG<\/strong>) posted a modest gain, while Small Caps (VB<\/strong>) and Industrials (XLI<\/strong>) were slightly lower. Stock-specific momentum remained strong in selected technology, semiconductor, health care, and biotechnology names, led by Everpure (P<\/strong>), Moderna (MRNA<\/strong>), Credo Technology (CRDO<\/strong>), Illumina (ILMN<\/strong>), ASE Technology (ASX<\/strong>), and SABESP (SBS<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

In the below tables we use major ETF\u2019s as a proxy for some major indexes as well as each of the sector groups into which we divide the overall markets. Tracking these over time provides a more defined picture of the US markets than simply tracking major indexes. This is followed by notable individual stock movers over the past month.<\/p>\n

Strategy Note :\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The first full week of the fourth quarter continued the broad market\u2019s tug of war games between growth and value. After Micron Technology (MU) reported higher than expected earnings at the end of September, the first two days of October were marked by large-cap tech stock dominance in accordance with the overall 3rd Quarter of 2026 and as discussed last week.<\/p>\n

We look at the strategy for the remainder of 2026 in context with the following ETFs.<\/p>\n
