November 29, 2015 The Week Ahead

The SPDR S&P 500 (SPY) had its second straight winning weak, and is now less than 1.2% off the highs. However, that doesn’t mean that every sector is participating in the rally. For example, energy continues to lag. With that said, we’re starting to see more sector rotation as investors try to figure where to best park their funds.

The VIX was relatively unchanged, closing the week at 15.12.

The United States Oil Fund (USO) finished the week relatively higher, however it’s still 50% off the 52-week highs.
