Gauging The Bounce

The average S&P 500 stock fell 6.2% from 4/30 (when the index made its last all-time closing high) through last Monday (June 3rd). Since the close, last Monday, the average stock in the index has bounced back 4.1%.

Below is a look at how stocks within sectors have performed recently. During the pullback from 4/30 to 6/3, Energy stocks fell the most of any sector at -13%. Energy stocks have also bounced back the least since 6/3 with an average gain of just 2%. Technology stocks fell the second most during the pullback with an average decline of 11%, but Tech has bounced back the most since 6/3 with an average gain of 6.3%.

Notably, some sectors have seen average gains since 6/3 that are bigger on an absolute basis than the declines they saw during the pullback. The average Utilities stock was flat from 4/30-6/3, but since then the average stock in the sector has rallied 2.1%. The average Real Estate stock actually gained from 4/30-6/3, and since then the sector has seen an average gain of 2.2%.

Consumer Staples and Health Care both saw average declines of roughly 3% during the 4/30-6/3 pullback, and they have bounced back by an average of just over 4% since 6/3.
