- S&P 500 is undergoing tech rotation alongside a defensive sector surge, per Seeking Alpha's heatmap analysis
- Equal-weight S&P 500 is outperforming as major U.S. stock indexes slip, with mega-cap stocks bleeding while semiconductor shares surge, according to MarketWatch
Why it matters: Investors relying on cap-weighted S&P 500 exposure are seeing weakness concentrated in mega-caps while the equal-weight index outperforms — meaning the broad market's strength is hiding outside the largest names, and sector exposure matters more than index-level bets right now.
