The S&P 500 has had another run this year. The index is up by nearly 26% on price basis. Sectors such as tech, banking and transports have done well. Utilities have lagged. Overseas most developed markets have performed as well. Among emerging markets, Chile has performed poorly due to political change there. Brazil is in the negative territory also while Mexico has had a nice run due to its tighter coupling with the US economy. With that said, below are a few interesting articles for the long weekend:
