Just two of the S&P 500 business sectors currently have a YTD gain. Energy up 61% and Utilities up 6%. And who would have guessed at the end of last year that Information Technology sector would be the worst performer at the end of May, down 18.8% YTD.

Here on the last day of May, 2022 it is still only the half way point for those who tally their investments annually. The market risk moving forward from here is less than it was at the year\u2019s start.

Three of the MRI\u2019s components are neutral as of this week. Only Relative Valuation remains somewhat on the high side but far better than a month ago. No change was seen in the MRI\u2019s calculation this week as it remains at 30. The MRI Oscillator is at zero indicating no upward or downward pressure on market risk.
