After a volatile October, things didn’t calm down much in November, with equally big swings in both directions for equities. After a large drawdown in the third week of the month, ADPV was able to recover and finished essentially flat for the period:1

Following a lot of turnover in October, there was little change to the sector weightings within ADPV following November, even with the large amount of trades (5) in the first week of the month. Technology dropped from 21% to 16%, and all of that essentially ended up in the Consumer Discretionary sector, which increased from 6% to 11%. Everything else remained unchanged, aside from market movement.2

Following a bumpy October, things didn’t get much smoother in November. The S&P 500 saw a 5%+ correction from Halloween through November 20, bouncing at the lows we saw in October around 6500 on the index. However, markets quickly recovered and the S&P 500 was back above the 6800 level by the end of the month. Breadth has also recovered nicely, as this current recovery hasn’t been led by Large and Mega cap Tech stocks. In fact, the Russell 2000 was the first of the major indices to reach fresh all-time highs.
Now, while the overall behavior from Small Caps has been lackluster for awhile, this is a positive sign for markets as a whole. Volatility has also come back down, after the VIX saw a high of 28, a similar spike to what we saw in October as well. Time will tell if the remaining indices can also push to new highs.
