Welcome to Extreme Investor Network, where we bring you the latest insights and analysis on all things money. Today, we are diving into the recent market rally that has left many investors scratching their heads.
As stocks from a variety of sectors saw gains on Wednesday, CNBC’s Jim Cramer examined what he believes is a multi-faceted bull market. “This market feels almost blasphemous to me because we’re being led by an outrageously bullish combination of stocks, the kind of stocks that absolutely should not be going higher at the same time,” he said. “Nobody wants to say it, but I don’t know if I can recall a moment where we have such disparate stocks climbing together to new highs.”
The Nasdaq Composite, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, and the S&P 500 topped record highs on Wednesday, climbing after a lighter-than-expected consumer inflation report. According to Cramer, this rally defies a lot of conventional wisdom about investing at this point in the business cycle. Cramer suggested that “the stocks leading us higher are supposed to be mutually exclusive,” but that’s currently not the case.
For example, he noted that industrial, utility, and tech stocks are going up at the same time. Utilities usually see gains while industrials see losses, he explained, with the former doing well during a recession and the latter not so much. This dichotomy means that there are many different camps of investors on Wall Street, and perhaps they’re converging, Cramer said.
