🧭 Last Week Review & Next Week Outlook

🔁 Last Week Review

During the week ending September 23, 2026, the US equity market saw leadership from the Materials (+1.15%), Consumer Staples (+0.62%), and Technology (+0.25%) sectors. Defensive areas such as Utilities (-2.24%) and Financials (-2.43%) underperformed, while Real Estate and Communication also lagged. Notably, Tesla outperformed among large-cap tech names, while Alphabet and Amazon saw significant declines. The mixed sector performance suggests a cautious market with a tilt toward select defensives and materials.

🔭 Next Week Outlook

Looking ahead, the market may continue to favor Materials and Consumer Staples if risk-off sentiment persists, especially as economically sensitive sectors like Financials and Consumer Discretionary show weakness. Technology could remain mixed, with notable dispersion among mega-cap names. Watch for further downside in Communication and Real Estate if macro headwinds continue. Risks include continued pressure on large-cap growth stocks and potential spillover into other cyclical sectors.
