In May, the S&P 500 reached a record 7,581, driven mainly by strong gains in AI-related technology sectors, especially semiconductor stocks like Dell, which saw a 30% jump on $16.1 billion in AI server sales. Despite this, eight of the eleven sectors declined, showing a narrow market leadership concentrated in a few mega-cap tech companies. Oil prices fell due to a 60-day Iran ceasefire, easing inflation concerns. Upcoming jobs data will be crucial to see if the rally broadens beyond tech or remains narrow.
